Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds large Yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt
1/3 cup fruity extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, and then reduce the heat to medium-high and simmer briskly until fork tender, about 45 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup of the water. Return the potatoes to the pan. Shake the pan over medium heat for about a minute to dry the potatoes. Remove from the heat. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and the reserved cooking water to the potatoes. Mash the potatoes, skins and all, with a traditional potato masher to an even consistency. Fold in the herbs and season with salt. Serve hot with a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh lemons. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • To make sure the potatoes are crispy, smash them with a fork or the back of a spoon before roasting them.
  • If you don't have a grill pan, you can cook the potatoes in a regular oven. Just preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy and browned.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream.

Conclusion:

These lemon oil smashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a bright and tangy lemon flavor. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
