What are smashed potatoes?
The concept is very simple: just cook the potatoes in water, then crush them lightly to flatten them. Then, cover the potatoes with oil that can be seasoned according to your tastes (I chose garlic and herbes de Provence). Then the potatoes are baked for another 35 minutes or so.
This technique results in super crispy potatoes!
