Crispy Smashed Potatoes

Fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, these smashed potatoes are a delicious side dish!

Crispy Smashed Potatoes

When it comes to starches, white potatoes are definitely not as bad as you might think. So, if you are going to eat them, which you should, why not forgo the plain old boiled and baked versions and try these crispy smashed potatoes instead?

These spuds are one of my favorite potato side dishes. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen that I often pair these little numbers with a couple of eggs for a great breakfast. In fact, the best thing about this recipe is that you can make a big batch of them ahead of time, which is often what I do when I eat them in the morning. They store incredibly well in the fridge and freezer, so adding them to breakfast, lunch, or dinner can be done very easily. One big bag of baby potatoes, also known as new potatoes, will feed a crowd or make plenty of leftovers for a whole week of meals. Plus, you can easily mix up the flavor by adding any variety of herbs or spices you have. A little garlic powder on them goes a long way, or you could also spice them up with curry powder, paprika, or cumin for a funky side dish.
