How to Get the Crispiest Smashed Potatoes
To ensure the crispiest smashed potatoes, there is something you should know. After you smash them with the bottom of your glass, let them cool before baking and broiling them (the final step). Allow the steam to leave the potatoes as this is the moisture coming out of them. This will give you the best end product.
Dipping Sauces
Sour cream– there’s nothing like plain old sour cream with a crispy potato. Honey mustard– the sweet compliments the black pepper and chive, try a Dijon mustard for a more spicy flavor. Ranch – mix it up and make your own! Whether it’s from a package, you are using a recipe (we have a great one), or you are following your heart and adding fresh parsley, dill, and whatever else sounds good to a base, it’s fun to make it yourself. The cool thing is, you can add anything! Make it spicy, add chipotle or jalapeno, add a BBQ flavor. The world is your oyster. Aioli – this is a sauce made by pounding garlic into a paste and then adding in olive oil. This creates a thick and creamy (and very flavorful) sauce that you can add many things to. For example: jalapeno and lime, or rosemary, or Sriracha.
