Smashed Potatoes

Smashed Potatoes use gold petite potatoes boiled until tender, then gently crushed and roasted until crisp. Olive oil, sea salt, and fresh rosemary enhance the flavor, while the roasting develops a golden crust with tender insides. This method provides a rustic texture and makes a savory side where the edges get crisp without drying out the potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 2 pound potato Gold petite variety
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt as you wish, sea salt
  • rosemary as you wish, fresh

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  2. Place the potatoes in a pot filled with enough water to cover them by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are soft and you can insert a knife through and there will be no resistance, 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool off slightly. Place them over the parchment paper and, using the back of a measuring cup, flatten them out.
  4. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, and sprinkle a generous amount of salt and fresh rosemary over each potato.
  5. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and crisp around the edges.

Notes

  • Allow potatoes to dry slightly after boiling before smashing to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Preheat the oven thoroughly and position the rack in the center for even roasting.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain the potatoes' shape.
  • Press potatoes with a sturdy metal or plastic tool instead of glass to avoid breakage and injury.
