Crispy Smashed Potatoes

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Boil the Potatoes

Place the baby potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

2

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

3

Prepare the Vegetables

While the potatoes are cooling, thinly slice the yellow onion and sweet bell pepper.

4

Caramelize the Onions and Peppers

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and peppers, and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat.

5

Smash the Potatoes

Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.

6

Season and Bake

Drizzle the smashed potatoes with the remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

7

Serve

Remove the potatoes from the oven, top with the caramelized onions and peppers, and serve with Romesco sauce drizzled over the top.
