@dontgobaconmyheart_: You know I love myself a smashed potato so I couldn't resist giving them a Greek twist! Enjoy 😛 Chris x GREEK SMASHED POTATOES | Serves 4 INGREDIENTS ➡️POTATOES: 20 Baby Potatoes (approx 700g/1.5lb) 2 tsp + 1/4-1/2 tsp Salt 2 tbsp Olive Oil 1 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano 1/4 tsp Black Pepper ➡️TOPPINGS: Tzatziki (homemade recipe on the blog) Feta, finely crumbled Red Onion, very finely diced Fresh Dill, pluck a few tiny bits per potato Olives, thinly sliced Lemon, juice only Black Pepper (optional) METHOD 1️⃣Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water and stir in 2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork tender right through (approx 25 minutes, although it's completely dependent on the size of the spuds). Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave for 5 minutes to steam. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. 2️⃣Tip the potatoes into a large mixing bowl and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4-1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread the potatoes out on 1-2 large greaseproof baking trays (use baking paper if you need to), then use a large mug or flat measuring cup to smash each potato. The thinner you smash them, the crispier they'll be. Just be careful they don't break apart. They need to stay intact. Leave to sit for another 5 minutes to allow some more steam to escape. 3️⃣Use a brush to collect the leftover oil/seasoning in the bowl and brush it over the potatoes (add a drizzle more oil to the bowl if there's not much left). Place the potatoes in the oven until deep golden, visibly crispy and just starting to char around the edges (approx 30-35 minutes). 4️⃣Remove and cool for a few minutes (they crisp up slightly more as they cool). Top them with a tsp of tzatziki, then add a sprinkle of feta, a sprinkle of onion, a couple of olive slices, a few pinches of dill, then finish with a gentle squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper. Enjoy!
