Smashed Crispy Potatoes are a delicious and fun side dish that pairs perfectly with any meal, featuring a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons kosher salt, divided
  • 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Boil the baby Yukon Gold potatoes in salted water with 2 tablespoons of kosher salt for 15 to 18 minutes until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  3. Place the potatoes on the pan and gently smash them to about 0.5 inch thickness.
  4. Mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Brush this mixture over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of kosher salt.
  5. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until they are deeply golden and crispy. If needed, broil briefly for extra crispiness.
  6. Finish with 0.5 teaspoon of flaky sea salt and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Choose smaller potatoes for even cooking. Let them steam dry after boiling for better crisping.
