Description
Crispy vegan smashed potatoes with golden edges and fluffy centers, seasoned simply for maximum flavor. Perfect as a side dish or snack with your favorite dip.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb yellow new (baby) potatoes (680g)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Add a few inches of water to a pot and fit it with a steamer insert. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Add the potatoes and steam for about 15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil. Lightly brush the sheet with a small portion of the oil.
- Place each steamed potato on the baking sheet and use the bottom of a glass to gently smash it to about 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) thickness.
- Brush the tops of the smashed potatoes with the remaining oil. Season with garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the potatoes halfway through roasting.
- Add paprika or dried herbs for additional flavor variation.
- Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
- Pairs well with vegan aioli, ketchup, or dairy-free ranch.
