Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 24 oz baby potatoes (I used yellow baby potatoes, 680 grams, around 16 baby potatoes)
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon chaat masala
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon turmeric
  • salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 small lime (juice of)
  • green onions (to garnish)
  • cilantro (to garnish)

Instruction

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes. Bring pot of water to boil. Add the potatoes and boil uncovered on medium-high heat.Boil until the potatoes are fork tender, around 18 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes in a colander. Let them cool down for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile in a bowl add olive oil and then add all the spices- coriander powder, garam masala, chaat masala, smoked paprika, garlic powder and turmeric. Stir until spices are well combined with the oil. Set aside.
  • Take a large baking sheet and spray with a oil spray.Once the potatoes have cooled down a bit, transfer them to the baking sheet.
  • Using a fork or the heel of your palm, smash each potato. Be careful to not smash completely, you don't want to separate them in different pieces.
  • Then brush each potato with the oil and spice mixture. Brush nicely, let the oil-spice blend seep into the crevices of the potatoes.Sprinkle salt all over. You may also sprinkle black pepper.
  • Bake at 425 F for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Squeeze lime juice all over.
  • Garnish with green onions, cilantro and serve these smashed potatoes hot with ketchup, sour cream or any dip!
