CHEESY SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot, cover with cold water and salt generously. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until fork-tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain the potatoes, reserving 1/4 cup cooking water. Return the potatoes to the pot and let dry in the still-hot pot, about 2 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the half-and-half.
• Add the butter mixture and cream cheese to the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Smash with a potato masher or large fork. If the potatoes seem too thick, add some of the reserved cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve warm.

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.

SMASHED CHEESY POTATOES

Steps:

• Rinse and gently scrub potatoes. Cook the potatoes in boiling water until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• While the potatoes are boiling, in a small mixing bowl combine the butter, black pepper, garlic and Old Bay Seasoning. Microwave until butter is melted and mix together well.
• Drain the potatoes and gently pat dry.
• Mix the olive oil and salt and pepper in a medium sized bowl. Roll each potato in the olive oil mixture until completely coated.
• Place the potatoes on a rimmed cookie sheet and gently flatten with the bottom of a drinking glass.
• With a pastry brush coat each smashed potato with the butter mixture.
• Bake for about 5 minutes. Then pull out of oven and top all of the potatoes using 1 tablespoon of chives. Then sprinkle cheese over all the potatoes, then sprinkle the other tablespoon of chives evenly over the potatoes.
• Bake in the oven for another 5 to 6 minutes.

ROASTED SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes into a 5-quart stockpot and cover with 3 quarts of cold water. Add kosher salt and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until potatoes are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and drain well. Let potatoes cool just until they're safe to handle.
• Transfer potatoes onto a sheet pan and continue cooling to room temperature. Make 4 or 5 shallow cuts down the sides of each potato, about every inch or so, to ensure the skin splits evenly when smashed. Refrigerate until completely chilled and ready to smash; 8 hours to overnight is best.
• Combine butter, sliced garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a small pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and begins to bubble, and garlic softens and starts to turn translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C). Line 2 metal baking sheets with silicone baking mats (such as Silpat®) and generously brush on some of the infused melted butter.
• Remove potatoes from the fridge and gently smash each between two pieces of plastic using a flat, heavy object until 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick. Season generously with salt, pepper, and cayenne on both sides, being careful not to break potatoes up into small pieces. Transfer onto a sheet pan, being careful not to overlap potatoes. Very generously drizzle and brush most of the melted butter on top.
• Bake potatoes in the preheated oven until well browned and crunchy around the edges, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the pan with the remaining garlic and herb butter back over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until garlic starts to turn a very light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
• Carefully transfer potatoes onto a serving platter and scatter over the golden brown slices of garlic. Crumble the toasted herbs on top if desired. Serve immediately.

CREAM-CHEESY GARLIC SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook potatoes and garlic in boiling water in large saucepan 15 to 20 min. or until potatoes are tender; drain.
• Return potatoes and garlic to pan; mash lightly with cream cheese and milk. Add peppers; mash just until blended. Spoon into serving bowl.
• Top with cheese.

NIF'S GREAT GRILLED POTATOES

Steps:

• Half bake the potatoes in the microwave. Cut them lengthwise, making sure to cut them the way that will make them sit flat. Make criss-crossed cuts about 3/4 of the way in the flesh of the potato - don't cut through!
• Mix all other ingredients and drizzle over the potatoes, a couple of teaspoons at a time so that it soaks into the potato.
• Prepare a grill to medium heat and place potatoes on upper rack in BBQ. If you don't have an upper rack, you can turn the grill to low but watch so that the potatoes don't burn. You can also make little foil nests to place them in by wrinkling up some foil underneath each one.
• When you can see that the butter mixture has soaked in and the potatoes look fully cooked, turn them over to add grill marks - only a couple of minutes.

SMASHED ROASTED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with cool water by at least 1 inch. Generously season the water with salt and stir in the baking soda. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 18-20 minutes, until a fork can be easily inserted into a potato, but they are not so soft that they fall apart when pierced. Drain the potatoes and let cool until safe to handle, about 20 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to an airtight container and refrigerate overnight for best results.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Melt together the butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, garlic, and salt. Cook for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant, then remove the pot from the heat.
• On a clean surface, evenly press down on each potato using a flat-bottomed 1-cup measure or plate until they are about ¼ inch thick.
• Brush 2 large baking sheets with about 2 teaspoons of olive oil each. Arrange the smashed potatoes on the baking sheets in a single layer, spacing evenly. Using a pastry brush or small spoon, top each potato with some of the butter-herb mixture. Season with the black pepper.
• Roast the potatoes for 35-38 minutes, gently flipping once, until golden brown and crispy.
• While the potatoes are roasting, make the whipped feta dip: Add the feta, crème fraîche, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt to a food processor. Process until completely smooth, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Transfer the dip to a small bowl and top with a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, lemon zest, and minced rosemary.
• Arrange the potatoes on a platter and top with any remaining butter-herb mixture, if desired. Serve with the whipped feta dip.
• Enjoy!

NIF'S CHEESY GARLICKY SMASHED POTATOES (BBQ OR OVEN)

Steps:

• Poke holes with a fork in the potatoes and microwave until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, lay out 4 large pieces of tin foil. I always use the nonstick kind but you can use nonstick spray.
• Stir garlic into melted butter.
• When the potatoes are done cooking, place 1 on a piece of foil. With the side of a mallet or with a rolling pin, smash the potato! Not too hard, or you will redecorate your kitchen but hard enough to make it about 1" thick.
• Spoon on 1/4 of the garlic butter, sprinkle with seasoning salt and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of cheese.
• Fold foil over the potato, enough to completely wrap it up.
• Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining potatoes.
• Place foil wrapped potatoes over low heat on the BBQ. I find it hard to list a cooking time because grills cook at such different speeds. You might want this to end up crunchy on the bottom or just heated through. You decide! Just take a peek ever few minutes.
• If you have other items on the grill that you are waiting for, you can put the potatoes on the top grate. They also stay hot for quite some time.
• If you're cooking these in the oven, I wouldn't put them in there for any temperatures higher that 375°F Take a peek after 10 minutes and remove when you see how you like them done.
