Portuguese Smashed Potatoes ~ Batatas à Murro image

This popular but simple potato dish can be made on short notice. Waxy potatoes like Red Bliss, Idaho bakers, or new potatoes all work well in this recipe. If raw garlic is too much for you, give it a quick sizzle in a skillet to tame it.

Categories     Sides

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 small or 4 medium (16 to 21 oz) waxy potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra to drizzle)
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt (or to taste)
4 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
Wine vinegar (to drizzle (optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).

  • In a shallow baking dish, arrange the potatoes in a single layer without crowding them, and bake until tender, about 1 hour.
  • Using a pestle or the bottom of a glass tumbler, punch down each potato hard enough to break it open. Scatter the chopped garlic in the opening of each potato. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, if desired. Serve immediately.

2 lb potatoes (either russet, sweet potatoes or yams) cut into 2 inch pieces
