More About This Recipe
- Our new favorite potato trend is crispy, smashed potatoes. This vegetarian potato recipe layers on flavor in every step of the recipe, beginning with the first one: boiling potatoes in broth, instead of water. Then (the fun part), potatoes get smashed before roasting to give them their crispy texture. Finally, they get coated in melted garlic butter and finished off with a pretty and bright chive garnish. When you serve these up, they’ll disappear quickly, and don’t be surprised if they’re requested again and again. If you’re interested in traditional baked potato recipes, we’ve got those too. And proceed this way, if you need a cheat sheet with all the tips and tricks for how to bake a potato.
