Smashed Green Onion Potatoes

# Ingredient List:

→ Potatoes

01 - 1.5 lbs baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes

02 - 1 tsp salt (for boiling water)

→ Scallion Oil

03 - 1/2 cup neutral oil (canola or grapeseed)

04 - 1 bunch (about 6) green onions, finely sliced

05 - 2 garlic cloves, minced

06 - 1/2 tsp kosher salt

07 - 1/4 tsp black pepper

→ Finishing

08 - Flaky sea salt, to taste

09 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water and add 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and allow to cool slightly.

03 - Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add green onions and garlic, cooking gently for 3 to 4 minutes until fragrant without browning. Stir in kosher salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.

04 - Arrange potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Gently smash each to about 1/2 inch thick using a potato masher or bottom of a sturdy glass.

05 - Spoon scallion oil evenly over each smashed potato, distributing green onions and garlic well.

06 - Roast in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

07 - Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

The scallion oil seeps into every crevice, making each bite impossibly fragrant
Theyre crispy outside, creamy inside, and impossible to stop eating

02 -

Let the potatoes cool enough to handle before smashing or you'll burn your fingers and they'll turn to mush
Dont overcrowd the baking sheet or theyll steam instead of crisp—use two sheets if necessary
