Best Crispy Smashed Potatoes With Chimichurri Dressing Recipes
PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES
We've seen plenty of potato trends over the past few years: Retro hasselback potatoes made a comeback, buttery "melting" potatoes took over Pinterest soon after, and now smashed potatoes are the spuds of the moment. The idea is to simmer small potatoes until tender, then toss them with olive oil, flatten them and crisp them in the oven. It's simple - and insanely delicious. There are more than 35,000 #smashedpotatoes photos on Instagram, and many Food Network stars are obsessed, too. Here's how to make them like a pro.

Steps:
- Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
CHIMICHURRI ROASTED POTATOES
These potatoes are a great side dish all year round. They stand up to grilled and roasted meats very well. Sometimes I add a chopped cherry pepper to the chimichurri to add a little heat and color.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F (215 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place cubed potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 5 minutes.
- Drain water from potatoes and pat potatoes dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Return potatoes to the bowl and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and generous pinches of salt and pepper. Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking sheet and spread them out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven until browned on the bottom and edges, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chimichurri by combining parsley, basil, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir together and let sit while potatoes finish baking.
- Remove potatoes from the oven and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add chimichurri to hot potatoes and mix until covered.
