I want to try making this type of potatoes. Can anyone one that makes these tell me should I parboil them then smash and bake or roast then smash? If you make them please post it here. how to make these. Thanks Katey.

PS I have small red and white potatoes that are like golf ball size and I have white that are medium size.

I just boil them until they're not quite as done as for regular mashed potatoes, then use my masher but leave them very lumpy with chunks still there. Sometimes I do it without the skins, but with the small red ones, I do like to leave the skins on from time to time. I use Butterbuds (but I don't add regular salt), some regular butter or margerine, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, sometimes some parsley flakes, and a little milk, but not enough to make them like regular mashed potatoes. I love potatoes in any way, shape, or form, and after dinner I can eat these right out of the pot (if it's only me) while I'm cleaning up!

Hi Katey! I've made these before and used the Pioneer Woman's recipe. They were yummy! I chose her method because it was easier. Other recipes called for the potatoes to be pan fried after smashing, but she just laid them on a baking dish, and baked till crispy.

Happy eating.

Jingles, I've never seen smashed potatoes like these - they look absolutely delicious! I make them the way I saw Rachel Ray do them, but I've got to try this. Thanks!

Hi kittymom! They're really tasty. I made them w/ small red potatoes, and the only trouble was, they went fast!

Here's the recipe for those who don't want to wade through the pictured, step by step instructions on her website:

Ingredients

12 whole New Potatoes (or Other Small Round Potatoes)

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Kosher Salt To Taste

Black Pepper To Taste

Rosemary (or Other Herbs Of Choice) To Taste

Preparation Instructions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook them until they are fork-tender.

On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.

With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and mash again. Brush the tops of each crushed potato generously with more olive oil.

Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.)

Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

I hope these are smashed because these are what I'm looking to make.
