Crispy Smashed Potatoes
Servings 5
Ingredients
- 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tbsp vegan butter (melted)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp thyme
- salt+pepper to taste
- chives for garnish optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add in the potatoes and cook until fork tender (should slip off when poked with a fork).
- While the potatoes are boiling, preheat oven to 425° and prepare the seasoning mixture, mixing together the butter and seasonings.
- Once the potatoes are done cooking, transfer them to a baking sheet, spacing them to have enough distance between each other when smashed.
- Using a potato masher, mash each of the potatoes. Using a brush, season each of them with the butter mixture. Place them in the oven for 20 minutes.
- For the last 5 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 525° and broil.
- Once finished cooking, let them cool for a few minutes and enjoy immediately!
