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.

I love garlic mashed potatoes, but usually the flavor is a little sharp and bitter, so I came up with this. Roasting the garlic first gives these potatoes all the wonderful garlic flavor, without the sharp or bitter bite. Almost sweet, smoky, and smooth.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are best for roasting, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for 1-inch pieces.
  • Season the potatoes well: Garlic, rosemary, and thyme are classic seasonings for roasted potatoes, but you can use any herbs or spices you like. Be generous with the salt and pepper.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Aim for 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will steam instead of roast. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are tender: This will take about 20-25 minutes. You can check the potatoes by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender all the way through.
  • Smash the potatoes: Once the potatoes are roasted, use a potato masher or the bottom of a glass to smash them gently. This will help them absorb the roasted garlic oil and herbs.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Roasted potatoes are best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Roasted garlic smashed red potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a weeknight dinner to a holiday feast.
