Crispy baked Smashed Potatoes

Step 1

First, wash the potatoes and cook in a pot of salted water for about 15-20 minutes until tender and you can easily slide in the potatoes with a sharp knife.

Step 2

Then drain the cooking water and let the potatoes evaporate until they aren‘t wet anymore.

Step 3

Preheat the oven and baking tray to 200°C cirulating heat.

Step 4

Brush the baking tray with oil (or line it with parchment paper).

Step 5

Place the potatoes next to each other on the tray and gently press them flat with a potato masher.

Step 6

Brush them with oil, season with salt, pepper, herbs and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden-brown and crispy.

Step 7

Serve the potatoes with pesto and roasted pine nuts or simply pure, either as a side dish or as a main course.

Step 8

Enjoy!
