How to Make Crispy Roasted Smashed Potatoes
- Boil the Potatoes. Place potatoes in a large pot with 1 tablespoon of salt and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and cool slightly.
- Smash and Season. Preheat oven to 425°F. Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet, gently smash each one with a glass or potato masher. Drizzle with olive oil and melted butter, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Roast and Serve. Roast for 45–55 minutes, until golden and crispy. Serve warm.
Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions

To Store: Store any leftover smashed potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back their crispiness.
