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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Red skin potatoes are the best choice for this recipe because they have a thin skin that crisps up nicely when roasted. You can also use Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, but they may not get as crispy.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: This will help to remove any dirt or debris from the potatoes. You can use a vegetable brush or a clean kitchen towel to scrub them.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them to cook evenly. If the potatoes are too large, they may not cook all the way through. If they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil and seasonings: This will help them to brown and crisp up in the oven. You can use any seasonings you like, but some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Roast the potatoes in a hot oven: This will help them to get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The exact roasting time will depend on the size of the potatoes, but they should be done in about 20-25 minutes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Smashed red skin potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and full of flavor. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will be a hit with everyone at the table.
