Ingredients
- 8 red potatoes OR Yukon gold potatoes red waxy potatoes will be creamier, gold potatoes will be fluffier
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons malt vinegar (or more to taste)
- Optional: diced green onion to garnish
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Boil potatoes until tender. Boil about 25 minutes for small potatoes, 35 minutes for larger potatoes. Potatoes are ready when they can be easily pierced with a fork.
- Preheat oven broiler.
- Remove potatoes from the pot, and carefully smash with a potato masher or a large, sturdy serving fork.
- Allow potatoes to cool for about 5 minutes after smashing. This will let some of the steam escape, and the finished potatoes will be crispier.
- Transfer potatoes to a large cast iron pan (or 2 medium-size cast iron pans), or arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, sprinkle the garlic (if using) and salt over the potatoes.
- Broil 10 minutes or until the potatoes develop crispy edges.
- Serve potatoes with the remaining salt. Immediately before serving, drizzle the malt vinegar over the potatoes, or serve the vinegar on the side.Garnish with green onion if desired.
