Smashed Red Bliss Potatoes Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and scrub the red bliss potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut them in half and place them in a large pot.

2. 2

   Boil the Potatoes

   Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3. 3

   Drain and Cool

   Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly for easier handling.

4. 4

   Smash the Potatoes

   Once cooled, place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a fork or potato masher to gently smash each potato until flattened but not fully broken apart.

5. 5

   Season the Potatoes

   Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

6. 6

   Bake the Potatoes

   Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the seasoned potatoes for about 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden.

7. 7

   Finish and Serve

   Remove from the oven, add butter on top of each potato, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
