Smashed Potatoes Recipe
Description
Smashed Potatoes Recipe starts with small baby potatoes cooked in salted boiling water until easily pierced by a knife, ensuring a tender interior. After draining and drying, each potato is gently smashed to increase its surface area, which crisps nicely in the oven. The seasoned paprika and garlic powder mixture coats the potatoes, giving them a savory aroma and a mildly spiced flavor. Baking at 425°F crisps the potatoes for about 20 minutes, turning once to ensure even browning on both sides.
The resulting potatoes have a satisfying contrast of textures: crisp, golden edges with a fluffy, tender center. A sprinkle of chopped parsley after baking brightens the dish and enhances the presentation. These potatoes can complement a range of main courses and are practical for batch preparation as they hold their texture after baking.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces baby potato gold or red, about 12 - 16 depending on the size
- kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika sweet
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- parsley for garnish, chopped
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water, add 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook until a knife easily pierces to the center of each potato, about 18 - 20 minutes. Remove from water and dry, place on a clean work surface and gently press using the bottom of a glass to smash the potato.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with foil, if.
- In a small bowl combine paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Place potatoes in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Lightly brush potatoes with oil and sprinkle both sides of each with spice mix.
- Bake 20 minutes, turning halfway until crisp and golden. Garnish with parsley.
