Smashed Fried Potatoes

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Place the baby potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until tender.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    While the potatoes are cooking, chop the bacon into small pieces and fry them in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Potatoes

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them cool slightly. Preheat the skillet with the bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Place the potatoes in the skillet and gently smash them with a potato masher or fork.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Make the Chive Crema

    In a small bowl, mix together the roasted garlic, sour cream, and chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the smashed fried potatoes, sprinkle the crispy bacon on top, and drizzle with the chive crema. Enjoy!
