Smashed and crispy potatoes provide a delightful combination of charred edges and a soft interior. To achieve the ideal texture, it is crucial to remove excess moisture after boiling. A recommended method involves draining boiled potatoes and allowing them to dry out in the residual heat of the pot without reheating. This technique works well for various potato sizes and types. The resulting crispy smashed potatoes serve as an excellent base for various flavors, making them versatile in meals.
Crispy smashed potatoes are a beautiful blank canvas for any flavor you can imagine.
The residual heat from the pot will help to evaporate and dry out the potatoes without continuing to cook them.
This method of steam drying after boiling potatoes works for peeled and cut large potatoes or for smaller, whole potatoes like fingerlings.
Boiling potatoes inevitably infuses the spuds with some extra moisture, so it's important to let them dry out before smashing.
