Storing

We don't recommend storing these Smashed Potatoes. What makes them unique is the crispiness, crunchiness, and delicious interior. Still, all of that disappears when you serve them cold or reheated.

METHOD

  • cook the potatoes

    Clean the potatoes. For this recipe, choose smaller new potatoes with skin on. Add them to a pot filled with salted boiling water. Place on the stove and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes or until the potatoes are soft (but not overcooked). Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat your fan-assisted oven to 210 °C / 410 °F.

  • season the potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and leave them on the colander for 5 minutes. Then add to a bowl and season with olive oil and salt. Toss to combine and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • bake the potatoes

    Using a spatula or potato masher, squish them, keeping them in one piece but making them flatter, like a patty. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes at 210 °C / 410 °F. Turn them with a spatula, and roast for another 15 - 20 minutes.

  • serve

    Sprinkle the roasted smashed potatoes with chopped fresh herbs and salt. Serve with your favorite main dish.
