Smashed Potatoes
Holiday 2007
A crisp but soft sensational potato dish to serve with everything. If you do not have roasted garlic, instead fine chop 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped garlic and include it in the dressing. It has a stronger flavour.
Serves 6
6 medium red potatoes, unpeeled
¼ cup (50 mL) olive oil
tsp (10 mL) roasted garlic
¼ cup (50 mL) finely chopped red onion
2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1. Place potatoes in cold salted water and bring to boil over high heat. Turn heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well and return potatoes to turned-off burner to dry out.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Oil a baking sheet and place potatoes on it. With a potato masher press potatoes until the skin splits and the potatoes burst and fall apart a little.
4. Combine oil, garlic, onion and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Spoon onto potatoes and bake for 20 minutes or until potatoes are brown and crisp.
