PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES



Perfect Smashed Potatoes image

We've seen plenty of potato trends over the past few years: Retro hasselback potatoes made a comeback, buttery "melting" potatoes took over Pinterest soon after, and now smashed potatoes are the spuds of the moment. The idea is to simmer small potatoes until tender, then toss them with olive oil, flatten them and crisp them in the oven. It's simple - and insanely delicious. There are more than 35,000 #smashedpotatoes photos on Instagram, and many Food Network stars are obsessed, too. Here's how to make them like a pro.

Steps:

  • Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

ROASTED SMASHED POTATOES



Roasted Smashed Potatoes image

The key to perfect smashed potatoes is completely chilling the parboiled potatoes before smashing, which gives you plenty of time to infuse some butter with garlic and herbs for drizzling over top. Roasted, the potatoes will end up crispy, buttery, and crusty on the outside, with a light, fluffy interior. It's like taking the best parts of home fries, mashed potatoes, French fries, and potato pancakes, and smashing them all together.

Time 9h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ½ pounds medium yellow potatoes, washed
⅓ cup kosher salt
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ cup unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, thickly sliced
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, or to taste
4 sprigs fresh thyme, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes into a 5-quart stockpot and cover with 3 quarts of cold water. Add kosher salt and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain well. Let potatoes cool just until they're safe to handle.
  • Transfer potatoes onto a sheet pan and continue cooling to room temperature. Make 4 or 5 shallow cuts down the sides of each potato, about every inch or so, to ensure the skin splits evenly when smashed. Refrigerate until completely chilled and ready to smash; 8 hours to overnight is best.
  • Combine butter, sliced garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a small pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and begins to bubble, and garlic softens and starts to turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Line 2 metal baking sheets with silicone baking mats (such as Silpat®) and generously brush on some of the infused melted butter.
  • Remove potatoes from the fridge and gently smash each between two pieces of plastic using a flat, heavy object until 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick. Season generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne on both sides, being careful not to break potatoes up into small pieces. Transfer onto a sheet pan, being careful not to overlap potatoes. Very generously drizzle and brush most of the melted butter on top.
  • Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until well browned and crunchy around the edges, 35 to 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the pan with the remaining garlic and herb butter back over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until garlic starts to turn a very light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
  • Carefully transfer potatoes onto a serving platter and scatter over the golden brown slices of garlic. Crumble the toasted herbs on top if desired. Serve immediately.

Categories     Mashed Potatoes

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lbs red potatoes or 8 small red potatoes, quartered, skin left on
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, place the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer.
  • When potatoes pierce easily with a paring knife, remove from heat and drain. Add potatoes to the bowl with the other ingredients and mix on medium speed until mostly smooth (there may be some lumps, but we usually don't mind that). Serve.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for the best results.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender, but not too soft.
  • Smash the potatoes with a potato masher or a fork until they are mostly broken down, but still have some chunks.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the smashed potatoes and cook until they are browned and crispy on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
  • Flip the potatoes and cook until they are browned and crispy on the other side, about 5 minutes more.
  • Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
