Description

Crispy smashed potatoes with golden edges and fluffy centers, seasoned simply and roasted to perfection.

An easy vegan side dish that's comforting, crowd-pleasing, and irresistibly crispy.

Potatoes
  • 2 pounds small white potatoes (18-20 potatoes)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • fresh parsley, chive, or green onion (for garnish)
    • Dip
  • 1/2 cup vegan sour cream
  • 1/4 cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon chives (chopped fresh or dried)
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dill weed
Instructions
  1. 1
    Potatoes

    Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them completely. Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

     

  3. 3

    Strain the potatoes and let them sit in the colander for 3 to 5 minutes before returning them to the pot. Once you've returned the potatoes to the pot, add the olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.

     

  4. 4

    Next, place the potatoes onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Then smash each potato with the flat bottom of a glass or a large spoon, keeping it in one piece. (Don't worry if a few break apart. They'll still be just as delicious.)

     

  5. 5

    Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy—no need to flip them. Just let them cook.

     

  6. 6

    Remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with parsley, chive, or green onion if desired.

  7. 7
    Dip

    Add the ingredients listed above for "Dip" to a small bowl and stir to combine.
