INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS

Baby Yukon gold potatoes – These small, buttery potatoes have a delicate flavor and creamy texture that make them perfect for smashing. You can substitute for fingerling potatoes as well.

Truffle oil –truffle oil adds a rich, earthy depth to the potatoes and complements the creamy texture. I use black truffle oil, but you can use any type you prefer.

Olive oil – the olive oil helps to brown the potatoes slightly and give them a crispy texture.

Honey – this is key to adding that touch of sweetness to the potatoes. It also helps to caramelize the potatoes slightly as they bake, giving them a golden brown and crispy top.

LET’S BAKE!

Begin by selecting small, buttery potatoes with thin skins, such as petite gold or fingerling potatoes. Avoid using larger potatoes, as they will be difficult to smash and may fall apart.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and continue boiling for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and fork-tender. Once cooked through, drain the water from the pot and allow the potatoes to rest for a few minutes.
Next, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and use the bottom of a glass or hard surface to “smash” them. The potatoes should be flattened but still hold their shape.
Mix olive oil, truffle oil, and honey in a small bowl. Drizzle the truffle honey mixture all over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown on the outside.
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and serve.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Be sure to keep an eye on the potatoes as they bake, and remove them from the oven as soon as they are crispy and golden brown.
Try different topping combinations such as melted butter, oils, herbs, spices, and other seasonings to find your favorite flavor combination.
Smashed potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. If you need to keep them warm for a party or event, place them in a low oven (around 200-250 degrees F) until ready to serve.
