PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES
We've seen plenty of potato trends over the past few years: Retro hasselback potatoes made a comeback, buttery "melting" potatoes took over Pinterest soon after, and now smashed potatoes are the spuds of the moment. The idea is to simmer small potatoes until tender, then toss them with olive oil, flatten them and crisp them in the oven. It's simple - and insanely delicious. There are more than 35,000 #smashedpotatoes photos on Instagram, and many Food Network stars are obsessed, too. Here's how to make them like a pro.

Steps:
- Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a saucepan, fill with water to cover the potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the potatoes until tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to cool.
- While potatoes are cooking, combine olive oil, butter, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, savory, sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir with a fork to combine well.
- Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and lightly press down on the potatoes to partially crush them. Spoon the oil-herb mixture over each potato.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the potatoes are beginning to crisp, about 25 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

ROASTED SMASHED POTATOES
The key to perfect smashed potatoes is completely chilling the parboiled potatoes before smashing, which gives you plenty of time to infuse some butter with garlic and herbs for drizzling over top. Roasted, the potatoes will end up crispy, buttery, and crusty on the outside, with a light, fluffy interior. It's like taking the best parts of home fries, mashed potatoes, French fries, and potato pancakes, and smashing them all together.

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.

15 EXAMPLES OF FOOD THAT GOES WELL WITH MASHED POTATOES
From topfoodinfo.com
- Turkey. Without a whole roasted turkey, Thanksgiving dinners are incomplete. In the United States, most people prefer having turkeys with mashed potatoes.
- Fried Chicken. Apart from turkey, chicken dishes, especially fried chicken, go really well with mashed potatoes. Fried chickens tend to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Roasted Chicken. Are you craving some roasted chicken breasts? The chicken should be properly marinated and roasted till golden brown. A creamy side dish, such as mashed potatoes, will definitely complement your crispy yet tender chicken.
- Pork Chops. There’s no denying that grilled pork chops are delicious. However, the texture of the pork meat might seem a bit dry for you. Thus, you’ll want something creamy to go with it.
- Grilled Beef Steak. Beef is full of protein. Based on how you cook, grill, or fry them, they can be either dry or succulent. But, when it comes to choosing a beef dish that goes well with mashed potatoes, beef steaks will be your best bet.
- Pot Roast. One of the best comfort foods you’ll ever eat is pot roast. This rich gravy meal, which includes wine and tomato sauce, can be made with either beef or ham.
- Meatloaf. Another comfort food on this list is meatloaf. You can prepare meatloaf in many ways by adding ingredients of your choice. Given the dish is on the drier side, it is perfect for eating with creamy mashed potatoes.
- Corn Beef. Corn beef has always been one of the favorite dishes on my table on festive occasions. The salty, spicy, and tender dish is rich in flavor. Hence, plain, creamy mashed potatoes are just the best side dish to complement the taste of spicy corn beef dishes.
- Pork Roast. Pork roast with mashed potatoes is an amazing combination. Since the pork meat is a bit firm, the smooth and creamy mashed potatoes will make up for it.
- Fish Cakes And Patties. Not only meat, but you can also try mashed potatoes with various fish recipes. There are many ways you can combine mashed potatoes with fish.
