Description
Chili Oil Smashed Potatoes are a tantalizing twist on classic smashed potatoes, boasting a spicy kick and irresistible flavor. This dish combines creamy potatoes with the bold and aromatic taste of chili oil, resulting in a crispy and flavorful side that’s perfect for any occasion.
To prepare Chili Oil Smashed Potatoes, start by boiling baby potatoes until they are tender but still hold their shape. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly before smashing them gently with a fork or the bottom of a glass.
Next, arrange the smashed potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle them generously with chili oil. You can use store-bought chili oil or make your own by infusing olive oil with dried chili flakes, garlic, and other spices for a personalized touch.
Once the potatoes are coated in chili oil, season them with salt, pepper, and any additional spices or herbs of your choice, such as smoked paprika, garlic powder, or chopped fresh rosemary.
Roast the Chili Oil Smashed Potatoes in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges, typically about 20-25 minutes. For extra crispiness, you can broil the potatoes for a few minutes at the end of cooking.
Once the potatoes are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness.
