Smashed Potatoes
I love these things
sooo much! Can we say comfort food? I was always a French fry lover, but as
with my plant-based diet I’m trying to eat clean as well. These delicious crisp
on the outside, creamy on the inside salty treats seriously hit the spot! You
can eat them as is, or you can top them with ANY number of things! (sautéed
mushrooms and onions, beans, cabbage, greens, anything!)
Ingredients:
Golden
potatoes (you can also use red, but I love the golden)
Olive oil
Seasonings to taste (I use salt,
pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder)
Cooking instructions:
Bake
your potatoes in the microwave, or however you would prefer, until soft. I
usually microwave mine for about 5 mins. It really just depends on the size of
your potatoes. I will start at about 3 minutes, and then 1 minute each time
until they are done. Once they are done you want to take something with a flat
bottom (I usually use a glass) and gently smash your potatoes. PLEASE be
careful not to burn yourself. These potatoes are hot right out of the microwave!
Turn the stove on med-high, put some olive oil in a skillet, and brown your
potatoes on either side. Be aware that with the heat that high, the olive oil
can get smoky! I season mine while they are in the skillet. That is it, they
are done! I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
