I can’t believe that I have never had these before. I love all things potato – mashed, fries, chips, baked – but smashed potatoes? How has this never even crossed my mind?! Travesty, I tell you. I came across the idea while watching an episode of The Pioneer Woman (if you don’t know who she is, you’re missing out). She made something called “Crash Hot Potatoes,” which is apparently a big dish in Australia. Any recipe that has less than ten ingredients is worth a shot in my book, and I am so glad I gave these a try. These are seriously my new favorite way to make potatoes. The crispy goodness is just soooooo….good (when I get excited about food it’s difficult for me to think straight and come up with sophisticated descriptions :) ) And that sprinkling of grated Parmesan at the end, oh my goodness….just you wait!
I would consider doubling the recipe because these will become an instant favorite at your house. Serve these with anything from chicken and beef to seafood. They are perfect with any main course.
Nikki, I love your blog! I saw some of the posts you shared on facebook, and I’m now one of your followers on bloglovin’. (I’m also Kathleen’s older sister, if you have no idea who I am!) I love your writing style, how you provide such detailed instructions, so those of us who aren’t accomplished cooks (to say the least) can still follow the recipes. These potatoes look amazing!
Hey Victoria! This totally made my day – you’re too kind :) I’m so happy to hear you like it, and I hope I can give you a little inspiration to get in the kitchen and make some delicious homemade meals! Thanks for following along :)
I’m making these this week!!! ??
Hi Cindy! I’m excited for you to try them! You will love them :)
