One of my favourite ways to whip up a really tasty potato side dish - with minimal effort. No need to go to the effort of peeling and slicing potatoes - just bung a load of potatoes in a pan and boil until tender, then transfer to a tin, give them a quick smash with a spoon and drizzle in oil. Sprinkle with seasoning and spices, and let them crisp up in the oven. These potato ALWAYS go down a storm. I made them as a side dish lots many times over the past several weeks, when I’ve been testing steak and steak sauces, and they all get eaten, EVERY TIME. Easy to prepare and far too easy to eat. Smashing them once boiled, turns all those ridges and knobbly bits into crispy, crunchy, tasty little mouthfuls of deliciousness that are great as a side to most dishes. 👩🍳PRO TIP Don’t be afraid of giving the potatoes a good squash. It doesn’t matter if they fall apart a bit - in fact the more they fall apart, the more crispy bits you get! They’d also be great on Bonfire night, served up with a big sausage casserole or chilli con carne! Stay updated with new recipes!Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when I post a new recipe.
