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.

ROASTED GARLIC SMASHED RED POTATOES



Roasted Garlic Smashed Red Potatoes image

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.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

For roasted-garlic and vegetable stock:
1 large head garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil plus additional for drizzling
1 leek, quartered and washed
1 onion, left unpeeled, quartered
2 carrots, quartered
1 parsnip, quartered
2 celery ribs, quartered
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1/3 cup soy sauce
6 cups cold water
For potatoes:
4 pounds boiling potatoes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
For gravy:
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Roast garlic and make stock:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Separate 6 cloves from garlic (do not peel), drizzle with a little olive oil, and double-wrap tightly in foil. Roast until garlic is very soft, about 45 minutes.
  • While garlic roasts, heat oil (2 tablespoons) in a 4-to 5-quart heavy pot over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook vegetables, remaining garlic cloves (separated but not peeled), bay leaf, and peppercorns, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in wine and boil until most has evaporated. Add soy sauce and water and simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes.
  • Strain stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup. If you have more than 4 cups, boil to reduce; if less, add water.
  • Boil potatoes:
  • Unless they are very small, cut potatoes (peeled if desired) into 2-inch pieces. Generously cover with cold water in a 5-quart saucepan and add 2 teaspoons salt. Simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/3 cup cooking liquid and stir butter and oil into it. Drain potatoes, then return to pan along with reserved liquid and coarsely mash. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm, covered.
  • Make Gravy while potatoes cook:
  • Mash roasted garlic to a purée.
  • Melt butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and garlic purée and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Slowly add stock, whisking, then simmer 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

GARLIC ROASTED RED POTATOES



Garlic Roasted Red Potatoes image

I have enjoyed these for years. I used to quarter the potatoes, but when I became a diabetic I started to cross cut the potatoes and by eating them a slice at a time you get the full flavor of your potato without eating a lot of carbs. You also get your potato fix and satisfy your cravings. The trick is to place the potatoes between two steak knifes and slice down using the knife handles as stops so you don't cut completely through the potato. Make the slices about an 1/8-inch apart and fan the potato so there is space in between the slices. This holds the spices and supercharges the potato.

SMASHED ROASTED RED POTATOES



Smashed Roasted Red Potatoes image

This idea came from the "Take Home Chef " he did a similar recipe on his show and I changed it up. I prefer to use fresh herbs, but anything you like will work. It's the method of cooking that I really like you can change it up to suit your taste and have fun with. Top with cheeses or bacon or both it is very versatile and fun. I haven't put measurements, because I do everything by sight. Prep time includes boiling time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of potato: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are best for roasting because they have a firm texture that holds its shape well.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them brown and develop flavor.
  • Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly.
  • Roast the potatoes until they are tender: You can check this by inserting a fork into the center of a potato. If it goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly: This will make them easier to handle.
  • Smash the potatoes with a fork: This will help them absorb the roasted garlic butter.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot.
