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.

Tips:

  • For the creamiest mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These varieties have a high starch content, which helps them to become smooth and fluffy when mashed.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. Overcooked potatoes will be gummy and less flavorful.
  • Drain the potatoes well before mashing them. This will help to remove excess water and prevent the potatoes from becoming gluey.
  • Use a potato ricer or food mill to get the smoothest mashed potatoes. These tools will help to break down any lumps and create a light and fluffy texture.
  • If you don't have a potato ricer or food mill, you can mash the potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Just be sure to mash them until they are smooth and lump-free.
  • Season the mashed potatoes to taste. Salt and pepper are classic seasonings, but you can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, chives, or rosemary.
  • Serve the mashed potatoes immediately. Mashed potatoes are best when they are hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Smashed potatoes with spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
