Smashed Potatoes


Makes 8 smashed potatoes (about 4 servings)

Cook time: 45 minutes

 This side dish is for the couple who can't agree between a baked potato or crispy fries. These potatoes are soft and fluffy in the center like traditional baked potatoes but crispy on the edges like hash browns and fries! No arguments necessary! Everyone can be happy!

Ingredients

8 Yukon Gold potatoes (These are creamy and buttery)
Olive Oil
Garlic Salt
Pepper
Fresh or dried Rosemary or Thyme (chopped)

Directions

  1. Boil the potatoes for 12 minutes or until a fork can pierce through and is soft.
  2. Heat the oven to 450 degrees.
  3. Line a baking sheet with foil or a non stick silicone mat.
  4. Drizzle some olive oil onto the pan.
  5. Place the potatoes spread out on the pan and smash it down with the bottom of a mug.
  6. Drizzle over a little more olive oil and season with garlic salt, pepper, and rosemary/thyme.
  7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  8. Crisp it off by setting on the low broil for 3 minutes or until the edges are brown and crispy.
  9. You're all done, dig in, will never want plain baked potatoes again!
