Crispy Garlic Smashed Potatoes
Crispy, golden and packed with garlic taste! These smashed potatoes are an easy side dish that turns simple potatoes into something a little special. Perfect alongside roast chicken, steak or grilled meats, and delicious served with a fresh salad, sour cream or aioli.
Ingredients
- 500 g potatoes (Agria recommended)
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Mrs Rogers Italian Herbs
- ½ tsp Mrs Rogers Salt
- ¼ tsp Mrs Rogers Black Pepper
- Fresh parsley, to serve (optional)
- Mrs Rogers Baking Paper, to line the baking tray (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to the boil. Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain well and allow the potatoes to steam dry in a colander for about 5 minutes.
Place the potatoes on the prepared tray and gently squish each one with the bottom of a glass or a potato masher. Aim for roughly 1–1.5cm thick so they have plenty of surface area to crisp up.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle over the Garlic Powder, Italian Herbs, salt and pepper.
Roast for 25–35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
