Ultra Crispy Smashed Potatoes

Amazing and easy to prep in advance

Bake long for crispness Seasoning is good with Ina Paarman and salt.

I cooked them for about 50 minutes. I'd do 40-45 next time instead. Don't be shy on the oil. Mine ended up a little dry.

Yummy! Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I zapped the baby potatoes in the microwave for about 12 minutes (instead of boiling them) and then smashed them before chucking it in the oven. Left em in for 55 minutes as instructed and served with a quick honey mustard sauce.

Tasty. Used super small potatoes. Bag said boil 15 minutes, so I did, but wish I boiled them a bit longer. Used salted butter and olive oil and baked them about 40 minutes. Nice and crispy.

Delicious! Boiled the potatoes, drained them, and put them back in the pan for 5 minutes to cook / dry out. I also preheated my cookie sheet, so when I smashed the potatoes, they dried a bit more right away. I melted my butter and brushed on the potatoes. Used a splash of onion infused olive oil, too. Popped in the oven at 425. I put a little shredded parmessan cheese on in the last few minutes. Nice and crispy and absolutely delicious.

These were delicious! I steamed the potatoes in the microwave for 9mins and then did 25min in the oven and they were still very tasty!

We love these. You really need to use baby golds, which are waxy enough to hold their shape, but also starchy enough to stay fluffy too. Boil them until fork tender and let them steam, then smash them gently with a large mason jar. If you use a starchy potato or don’t boil long enough, then they will just crumble when you smash them.

Used baby gold potatoes for this recipe. Baked for the full 45 min. Very buttery and crispy.

Absolutely delicious!! Everyone loves these.

Takes a while, but it's simple, quick prep and not really active cooking time. Delicious and family approved.

Seriously delicious

10min at 400F in Pampered chef air fryer. No olive oil (didnt want it crispy). Put cold butter on top of smushed potatoes, lined tray with foil

From boiling and resting potatoes to the cooking method, I followed the recipe exactly. Small new Yukon's, no larger than a ping pong ball. My mistake was in flattening them just a tad too much and cooking just a bit long. Still good, definitely crispy. The change I did make, and will make again is I made lots of clarified butter, added just a bit of olive oil, mortar and pestle 4 large cloves of garlic and added that to the warmed up butter oil mixture and let sit for about an hour. There was just enough oil to keep the butter from hardening. I then added some kosher salt and slathered it on the potatoes before putting them in the oven. The smell of the potatoes and garlic cooking was heavenly.

Was even better with a generous sprinkling of garlic powder along with the salt & pepper, and grated fresh parmesan cheese as soon as out of the oven. Might try adding parmesan in last 10mins so it melts more next time

Good. Not significantly different from roast potatoes and I may have overboiled the potatoes as they didn't hold much shape after pressing down.

Wanted to make the Parmesan crusted ones from the site too! ( Wouldn't let me save a separate recipe than the one posted😥)

FINALLY found a crispy potato recipe my fiancé approves of! I boiled my baby golds in chicken broth and baked for the recommended 45 minutes. I experimented with smashing them thin and thick and they are both very good. This will absolutely be a new favorite in this house.

Sooooo yummy. Took a long time to make but it was worth it

Turned out so ugly 🥲 i don’t have a potato masher, so i used a glass (like in the viral videos) and I got sooooo click baited lol so I added colby jack on top to cover my mistakes and roasted them 15min then flip and other 15min. Taste wise were amazing thooo 👩🏻‍🍳

Came out solid, but not as crispy as I would like. Might increase cooking time as well as using a bit less olive oil next time, plus some more seasoning.

Yum! I only used olive oil and added garlic powder and parmesan.

These are amazing. I made a spiceix of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Generously sprinkled over before putting in the oven. A little shredded cheese the last 5 min adds an extra kick

I left them in the oven about 5 minutes too long -- they were still pretty tasty but need to keep a closer eye on them. Was doing to many things at once.

Boyfriend loved it. I broiled these for the last 5 minutes just to make them extra crispy. Gotta remember to salt and season my potatoes once they're smashed.

Very crispy, a bit more than I wanted. Try cooking for 35-40 min and not smashing potatoes too thin

Nice, easy, and crispy! I used half melted butter and half olive oil for the drizzling. Used an air fryer instead of the oven, cutting the cooking time in half.

I microwaved 8 small white potatoes (NOT baby potatoes) then I cut them into quarters after they cooled and smashed them on my cookie sheet. I brushed on room temp butter and drizzled olive oil, seasoned with salt & pepper and parsley flakes. I cooked my potatoes for 45 mins as they were soft from the microwave.

Best potatoes ever, I like to add seasonings though. Fresh garlic, parsley, salt and pepper is my favorite. But you can change it for your taste easily, just butter is good too!

These were very good. I used my air fryer instead of the oven for the second part and put them in for about 12 minutes at 350. They could have gone longer to get crisper, but they were very good as is. I also added a bit of garlic powder.
