Smashed Garlic Potatoes Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Hollymayb / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago I first had this dish at Tom Douglas' fabulous 'Lola' in Seattle. It's served there as a side for breakfast, but you could have it with dinner. Great way to use leftover potatoes. This is my recreation. Prep time includes initial cooking and cooling time if not using leftovers.... More Prep:120m Cook:40m Servings:2	Hollymayb

Ingredients

4 smallish yukon gold potatoes, baked or steamed and cooled

Olive Oil

Garlic powder

Salt & Pepper

OR, if you have roasted garlic hangin round, pulse some of that up with your olive oil... mmmmm

Directions

Use last night's leftover potatoes, or:

Puncture potatoes several times each with a fork and single wrap in foil. Bake @ 400F for 1 hr, then unwrap and let cool.

Place potatoes on a lightly greased baking sheet

With a saucer, small plate or the heel of your hand, gently press down on each potato until it is 'smashed'; approx. half it's original width

Drizzle generously with olive oil

Sprinkle very liberally with garlic powder

Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Bake at 450F for 30-40 minutes. The outside will be crispy and golden, the inside... just perfect...

Serve with bacon & eggs, or a sausage/tomato/sage scramble, or a la Tom Douglas... with octopus. (Hey- don't knock it till you try it!)

My Husband and I eat them with steak. They are wonderful and it keeps me from loading them with butter or sour cream. They get my 5

I am a sucker for anything with garlic... Just as long as everyone else is eating it too. Well .. I don't really care if they do or not...;-)~ Great post Holly....... Jim

PS.. I hear ya about the red skinned potatoes... they are too waxy to make good mashed...

Also tried them with red skinned potatoes, and we didn't like them as much. The taste of the reds just didn't work well. Could be a matter of personal preference though.
