Portuguese Smashed Potatoes ~ Batatas à Murro

This popular but simple potato dish can be made on short notice. Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss, Idaho bakers, or new potatoes all work well in this recipe. If raw garlic is too much for you, give it a quick sizzle in a skillet to tame it.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 8 small or 4 medium (16 to 21 oz) waxy potato such as Yukon Gold, Baby Dutch Yellow, baby red, or fingerling, skins intact, scrubbed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus extra to drizzle
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt or to taste, coarse
  • 4 garlic finely chopped, cloves
  • wine vinegar to drizzle (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  2. Place potatoes in a medium bowl and pierce them all over with a fork. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, add the salt and gently toss until potatoes are well coated.
  3. In a shallow baking dish, arrange the potatoes in a single layer without crowding them, and bake until tender, about 1 hour.
  4. Using a pestle or the bottom of a glass tumbler, punch down each potato hard enough to break it open. Scatter the chopped garlic in the opening of each potato. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, if desired. Serve immediately.
