Crispy Smashed Potatoes

potatoes

salt

extra virgin olive oil

garlic powder

Lots of freshly ground salt and pepper, to taste

For dipping:

garlic feta sauce

To garnish:

Fresh rosemary, parsley or cilantro

Add the potatoes and a handful of salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until just fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain, allow them to cool for 5 minutes and dump the potatoes onto a large sheet pan.

Use a heavy bottomed pot, large mug or another sheet pan to smash the potatoes until they’re about 1/3 inch thick and flat on two sides. Note: don’t make them too thin or they’ll be likely to fall apart easier.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil and garlic powder and brush both sides of the potatoes with oil. Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are nice and golden and crispy to your liking.

Make the whipped garlic feta yogurt sauce according to the recipe. Or you can make whatever sauce you’d like -- options in the blog post and note section below.

Garnish the potatoes with rosemary sprigs on the side of the platter or chopped parsley/cilantro, then drizzle the feta sauce over the top or serve as a dipping sauce.

baby potatoes (about 2 pounds)

salt (for boiling)

salt (or

teaspoon garlic powder

Cook the potatoes.

To cook on the stove: Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. The potatoes should be covered in water by about one inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn the heat down to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

To cook in the instant pot: Add potatoes in the instant pot and cover with water (about 3-4 cups). Add salt and stir well to dissolve. Seal the lid and set the steam release knob to the sealed position. Cook the potatoes on Manual pressure for 8 minutes until tender. Once the time is up, quick release pressure or wait until all of the steam has released and the valve has dropped.

Drain completely and place the hot potatoes evenly spaced apart on a large baking sheet. Gently flatten the potatoes into approximately 1/2-inch thick discs with a potato masher or fork.

Brush or spray oil on each smashed potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 25-30 minutes. You can also broil on high for another 5 minutes to get the potatoes extra crispy.

Serve immediately with chopped parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional).

Crispy, flavorful air-fryer smashed potatoes! These make a delicious side dish or a fun and tasty appetizer. A quick and healthy alternative to French fries that require only a few simple steps!

Air Fryer Smashed Potatoes

lb. baby gold potatoes

fine sea salt

paprika ((I use smoked paprika))

ground pepper

Start by boiling the potatoes. Place potatoes in a medium sized pot and add water until it comes to about an inch over the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender enough to pierce with a fork (15-20 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes).

When the potatoes are done, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F.

Drain potatoes and allow them to dry and slightly cool. Then place in a large bowl and add olive oil, garlic powder, salt, paprika, and pepper. Mix or toss to ensure all potatoes are coated in the oil/seasoning mix.

Place potatoes on a baking sheet to smash. Using the bottom of a cup, smash the potatoes down to about ¼” thickness.  If you have remaining olive oil in your bowl, you can brush this on the potatoes after they’ve been smashed.

Using a spatula, transfer smashed potatoes to the air fryer basket. It is okay if they are touching, but don’t overlap potatoes. Return basket to air fryer and cook for 10-12 minutes. I let potatoes cook without flipping, but you can flip halfway through if you&#39;d like. Check your potatoes after about 10 minutes to make sure they don&#39;t overcook. You can continue cooking until desired crispiness is reached.

Best served straight from the air fryer. Enjoy!

Crispy Smashed Potatoes.  Crispy smashed potatoes with creamy, fluffy centers and crispy outsides. Petite potatoes topped with olive oil, salted butter, salt, and pepper and baked until crispy and topped with a garlic cheddar sour cream dip. The best smashed potatoes recipe!

1.5 lbs Petite Yukon Gold or FIngerling Potatoes

Tablespoons Salted Butter * ((melted))

Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Salt

Pepper

Parsley ((chopped))

Sour Cream

Cheddar Cheese ((grated))

Garlic Clove ((or 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder))

Garlic Salt

Start by using petite gold or fingerling potatoes. You want to use small potatoes to make it easy to smash them with the bottom of a glass. If they are too large, they will just fall apart. I prefer yukon gold potatoes because of their creamy texture and thin skins.

Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water. Place on high heat until boiling. Boil for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and fork-tender. You want them to be soft enough to smash! The larger the potatoes, the longer the cooking time.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drain the water and place the potatoes in a colander to allow the steam to release for about 5 minutes. Get a large baking sheet ready. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and press on each one with the bottom of a glass to &quot;smash&quot; them.

Drizzle the potatoes with melted salted butter and extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. 

Bake in a 425-degree oven for about 35-45 minutes, depending on the level of desired crispiness. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with garlic cheddar sour cream dip.

In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic, and pepper. Top the potatoes with the dip or dip the potatoes into the dip.

Preheat your oven 450 degrees Fahrenheit and brush one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over a half baking sheet.

Place potatoes in a large Dutch oven covered with water and add 1 tablespoon of salt.  Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook until fork tender (about 15-20 minutes) - time will vary depending on the size of your potatoes; be careful not to overcook as they’ll fall apart when smashed. Drain and allow the potatoes to cool until you can safely handle them (about 5 minutes).

Place each potato onto the large oil-greased baking sheet and use the bottom of a metal measuring cup or the bottom of a glass to press down on and smash each potato until it is 1/4 inch thick.  Repeat until all potatoes are smashed.  It is okay if the potatoes break apart.

Drizzle 3/4 teaspoon of olive oil over each smashed potato and then season generously with the salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Bake for 20 minutes on the middle rack then carefully flip each potato and bake another 20 minutes until golden brown with crispy edges.  Watch closely toward the end to avoid burning.  Serve hot right off the baking sheet or on a platter.  Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and flaky sea salt if desired.  Add any of the topping ideas mentioned in the above article.

Super super simple and delicious! My non-vegan family members even raved repeatedly.
