Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cook the potatoes about 30 minutes. They should be soft when tested with a fork. The potatoes should be boiled in a pasta pot with a strainer in it.
- 2
Preheat the oven to 390 degrees F.
- 3
Let the potatoes dry inthe strainer for 5 minutes. Put some aluminum foil on a cookie sheet, and use a very large fork to smash the potatoes as flat as possible. Thinner = crispier. Thicker = fluffier insides. More nubbly surface = better crunch!
- 4
Leave the squished potatoes on the tray with the tin foil to dry for another 5 minutes.
- 5
Melt the 2 Tbsp of butter and combine with the Olive oil and drizzle it over the smashed potatoes. Then sprinkle the potatoes with Salt, and Pepper.
- 6
Bake the Smashed Potatoes on the foil for 45-55 minutes at 390 degrees F. Until deep golden. DO NOT FLIP!! Sprinkle with parsley or Italian Spice blend if desired.

Super easy! Microwaving the potatoes instead of boiling them reduces time and also the chances of the potatoes becoming too wet before they roast. Throw in whatever herbs you fancy and baked till crispy! We love the slightly charred crispy bits. Smashing the potatoes creates even more crispy bits!!Served with baked salmon and roasted asparagus 🤤🤤

I had some red potatoes that were a little on the small side. I was going to make “Cottage Fries” and decided against it. I thought, “Why don’t I just smash these damned things and fry them whole”? It worked out great, nice and crispy.

I often cook potatoes in the microwave to save time, so I make fried potatoes this way too. It's a bother to take care of the oil after deep frying, so I just panfried the potatoes in olive oil for a crispy finish.Cook the potatoes in the microwave until soft, then cook the surface until crispy in a frying pan.The microwaving time varies depending on your microwave, so please adjust it.Add some salt or herbs to vary the flavor. For an easy-to-make amount (about 2 servings). Recipe by yaburie
