Categories     Potato

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb small red potatoes (about 20 golf ball sized potatoes) or 1 lb gold potato (about 20 golf ball sized potatoes)
1/3 cup melted butter
3 -4 tablespoons kosher salt, divided
1 -2 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
6 slices cooked bacon (optional)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450* F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, with 2 tbsp salt. Add potatoes, and boil until quite tender, but not falling apart.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment. Once potatoes are soft, place on baking sheets, leaving ample space between them.
  • Use a flat bottomed glass to smash each potato to 1/4" thickness.
  • Melt butter, and drizzle or brush over potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until crispy. Meanwhile, fry the bacon and shred the cheese. Dice the bacon.
  • After the potatoes are out of the oven, sprinkle with the bacon and cheese.

I followed the recipe exactly but my potatoes didn't come out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These potatoes were a bit too oily for my taste.

I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but these were really good. The crispy edges and fluffy insides were perfect.

These are the best smashed potatoes I've ever had! The butter and garlic give them so much flavor.
