Crispy Smashed Potatoes (gf,v) Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Wash the baby potatoes and place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

2. 2

   Smash and Season

   On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the cooked potatoes and gently smash each one with the bottom of a glass or a fork until they are flattened but still intact. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bake the Potatoes

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

4. 4

   Make the Lemon Aioli

   In a small bowl, combine vegan mayo, minced garlic, lemon juice, and half of the chopped chives. Mix well and season with salt to taste.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle with grated Grana Padano cheese, chopped shallots, and the remaining chives. Serve warm with the lemon aioli on the side.
