They may not be pretty but I did my best to make these Crispy Smashed Potatoes look as good as they taste. Twice-baked Yukon Gold potatoes are baked, smashed then slathered with olive oil, salt and pepper then baked again.
My husband loves potatoes so I am always looking for new ways to prepare them. Although the Crispy Smashed Potato recipe has a longer cooking time than most of my recipes, they take only a couple of minutes to prepare then cook in the oven for 1-1/2 hours with very little supervision.
Try these Crispy Smashed Potatoes with the Grilled Chicken & Vegetables. The potatoes can cook in the oven while you are grilling and it will be easy to time everything to be done at the same time!
