Crispy Smashed Potatoes Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 16 small to medium-sized Yukon potatoes
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter + melted for garnish
• sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Add the potatoes directly to a large steamer basket.
• 2 Add the basket of potatoes to a large pot of boiling salted water and boil for
  20 to 23 minutes. The water should be well seasoned and salty like the ocean.
• 3 Remove the potatoes and keep in strainer or basket for 5 to 7 minutes or until
  they slightly cool down. You’ll know the potatoes are done when you pierce them
  with a fork, remove them from the water, and they slide of the fork with ease.
• 4 Place one of the slightly cooled potatoes on a cutting board and place a small
  frying pan over top. Gently press down to smash the potato.
• 5 Place the potatoes on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat the
  process until all the potatoes are smashed.
• 6 Next, add the olive oil to a large frying pan, cast-iron skillet, or griddle
  over medium-high heat.
• 7 Once the oil smoked lightly, place on the smashed potatoes.
• 8 Immediately add the butter around the potatoes to help brown them up and flavor
  them. If your pan is not big enough, you will have to do this in batches so
  evenly distribute the oil and butter between the batches.
