Crispy Smashed Potatoes are a simple yet delicious vegan side dish that combines crispy, golden potatoes with flavorful seasonings. With easy preparation and endless customization options, they are perfect for any meal.
Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Total Time 1 hour hr 10 minutes mins
- 6 Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Cracked black pepper optional, to taste
- Olive oil a drizzle to taste
- 6 servings Vegan Green Goddess Dressing
In a large pot, add 6 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the Yukon Gold potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the potatoes cook for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on their size, until fork-tender.
While the potatoes cook, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400°F.
Once the potatoes are done, drain the water and transfer the potatoes to the baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Use a butter knife to make a soft slice about halfway through each potato. Then, using the bottom of a cup or mug, gently smash each potato down. Season with salt, garlic powder, and pepper to taste. For a crispier potato, drizzle with olive oil if desired, though this step is optional.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy. Serve with PlantYou Green Goddess Dressing and enjoy!
