If you love potatoes then you need to try these crispy smashed potatoes! Baby potatoes are boiled until fork tender, then smashed until flattened. Baked in olive oil, salt & pepper until crispy and tossed with buffalo sauce. These are served with fresh cilantro & vegan cilantro ranch. The perfect party appetizer or dinner side!

How to Prep the Potatoes

I like using baby dutch potatoes for this recipe. They are super creamy on the inside and the skin gets a nice crispy crust.

Add the potatoes to a stock pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, lower the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender – about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and add olive oil, salt & pepper to a rimmed baking sheet.

Add the potatoes to the baking sheet – and now we smash. You can either place another baking sheet on top of them and press down OR use a glass to press each potato individually. Top with the rest of the oil, salt & pepper and bake in the oven for 20 minutes – flipping halfway.

Take the potatoes out of the oven, flip one more time and drizzle with buffalo sauce. Place back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until crispy.

How to Serve

Of course these crispy potatoes need a dipping sauce. I made a simple homemade cilantro ranch. It is just a combo of vegan mayo, oil, vinegar, dry seasonings, fresh cilantro & jalapeƱo. Give everything a mix, a taste and you are ready to eat.

I like to top the hot potatoes with fresh cilantro before serving. You can get in there with your hands and dip away – or for a more civilized tactic, grab a fork.

These potatoes have the perfect amount of crunch, spice and creaminess.
