Crispy Smashed Potatoes

Writer's picture: Jenn ClaytonJenn Clayton

OMG these are incredibly good and SO easy to make! The PERFECT side dish!

Crispy, buttery and full of goodness!! Pair with bacon, sour cream, chives & more!


RECIPE:


  • 1 pound baby potatoes

  • 1 tbsp salt (for boiling)

  • 2 tbsp light butter , melted

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 3/4 tsp salt (for sprinkling)

  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  • Finely chopped parsley , optional garnish


  • Cook potatoes: Bring a pot of water to the boil, add 1 tbsp salt. Cook potatoes until soft - small ones should take around 20 to 25 minutes, medium ones might take 30 minutes. It's ok if the skin splits. Alternatively, steam or microwave them.

  • Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).

  • Steam dry: Drain the potatoes and let them dry in the colander for 5 minutes or so.

  • Smash! Place on the tray then use a large fork or potato masher to squish them, keeping them in one piece. Thin = crisper. Thicker = fluffier insides. (Both good!) More nubbly surface = better crunch!

  • Steam dry again: Leave on the tray to steam dry for 5 minutes or so - makes them crispier!

  • Drizzle: Drizzle with butter, then olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

  • Bake: Bake for 45 minutes (small potatoes) to 55 minutes (medium) or until deep golden and crispy. Do not flip!

  • Serve hot, sprinkled with parsley if desired.
