Crispy Smashed Potatoes With Sriracha Mayo Pancetta And Scallions Recipes

CRISPY GARLIC SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 18x13-inch rimmed pan with cooking spray.
• In 5-quart Dutch oven, mix potatoes and broth; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with fork; drain, reserving broth for another use if desired. Shake pan with potatoes over low heat to dry. Remove from heat.
• In small bowl, mix melted butter and garlic. Pour 1/4 cup of the butter mixture over potatoes; toss to coat thoroughly. Place potatoes in pan. Use bottom of glass or measuring cup to flatten each potato to about 1/2-inch thickness. Drizzle top with remaining butter mixture; season with salt.
• Bake 35 to 40 minutes, turning once, until browned and crispy. Transfer to serving platter; sprinkle with chives.

CRISPY SMASHED POTATOES WITH SRIRACHA MAYO, PANCETTA AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Season the water with 1/4 cup kosher salt and the baking soda. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, continue to cook the potatoes until a paring knife easily pierces the potatoes and the insides are creamy, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• While the potatoes cook, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and the pancetta to a large cast-iron skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a slotted spoon, until crispy and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the pancetta to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the skillet.
• Press down on the potatoes using the back of a water glass or mug to smash them. In the same skillet the pancetta cooked in, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of canola oil to the rendered fat. Place over high heat and add the potatoes in a single layer. Cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
• Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise and sriracha in a small bowl.
• Place half of the crispy potatoes in a serving bowl. Top with half of the pancetta, scallions and sriracha mayo. Add the remaining potatoes to the bowl and top with the remaining pancetta, scallions and sriracha mayo. Enjoy!

CRISPY CHEESY SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon grease.
• Grease a baking sheet with a small amount of the bacon grease and place potatoes on the sheet. Smash potatoes with the bottom of a glass, then brush with more bacon grease. Repeat once more (smashing/brushing). Lightly salt potatoes.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until crispy, about 15 minutes. Top with blue cheese and crumbled bacon. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.
• Top with green onions and serve.
