Crispy Smashed Baby Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until just fork tender, about 10 minutes or longer, depending on the size of the potatoes.
• Transfer potatoes to a bowl. Add parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to the hot oil. Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until potatoes are browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon grease.
• Grease a baking sheet with a small amount of the bacon grease and place potatoes on the sheet. Smash potatoes with the bottom of a glass, then brush with more bacon grease. Repeat once more (smashing/brushing). Lightly salt potatoes.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until crispy, about 15 minutes. Top with blue cheese and crumbled bacon. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.
• Top with green onions and serve.
