SALT-AND-VINEGAR SMASHED POTATOES



Salt-and-Vinegar Smashed Potatoes image

Adding a hefty dose of vinegar to the cooking water infuses a lovely tanginess throughout these potatoes. When crisping them, make sure to flip often for even browning without any burning or charring. Don't worry if the potatoes fall apart a bit as they get flipped - the little craggy bits will get extra crunchy.

SALT AND VINEGAR ROASTED POTATOES



Salt and Vinegar Roasted Potatoes image

This recipe turns the classic potato-chip flavor into a dinner party-worthy side dish. The potatoes get a double hit of vinegar: First, they are roasted in a simple vinaigrette, then are tossed with another smack of acidity just before serving. Use white-wine vinegar for a stronger vinegar flavor, or apple cider vinegar if you want a subtler flavor.

SALT AND VINEGAR SMASHED POTATOES WITH HERBED YOGURT DIP



Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes with Herbed Yogurt Dip image

Over the years, I've been making crispy smashed potatoes for dinner with the sweetest, most tender potatoes we get at the farmers' market each week. Since my 11-year-old daughter's hands down favorite snack food is salt and vinegar potato chips with French onion dip, I wanted to marry the two foods into an irresistible weeknight side dish. I lightened up the dip by making it with protein-rich Greek yogurt, adding a handful of soft herbs from our garden and boiling the potatoes in vinegar with a hit of crunchy salt at the end to give them that addictive tangy, zippy flavor she loves. They've quickly become a family favorite!

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds baby potatoes, scrubbed
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Olive, canola, avocado or vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from about 1 small lemon)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, cilantro, dill or tarragon)
Flaky salt, for serving

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes, vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the kosher salt in a large saucepan and add water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and allow to cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. (The potatoes can be boiled the day before and refrigerated up to 3 days before smashing and sauteing.)
  • Place the potatoes on a cutting board and use the palm of your hand to smash/press down on the potatoes.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to cover the entire surface of the skillet. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and season with salt. Cook the potatoes until they become golden and the edges turn crispy, 4 to 5 minutes on each side.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt and the herbs in a small bowl.
  • Transfer the potatoes to a large plate, sprinkle with flaky salt and serve with the herbed yogurt dip.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For the best results, use a starchy potato variety such as Russet or Yukon Gold. These potatoes will hold their shape well when smashed and will become fluffy on the inside.
  • Boil the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be cooked through but still firm enough to hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will become too mushy when smashed.
  • Use a fork to smash the potatoes: A fork will give the potatoes a rustic, smashed look. You can also use a potato masher if you prefer a smoother texture.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Salt and vinegar are the classic toppings for smashed potatoes, but you can also add other ingredients such as butter, sour cream, chives, bacon, or cheese.
  • Serve immediately: Smashed potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Salt and vinegar smashed potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you are looking for a new way to cook potatoes, give salt and vinegar smashed potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
