Ingredients
  

Smashed Potatoes

  • 1 bag mini potatoes (I used 16 oz multicolored peewee potatoes, from Whole Foods)
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 tbsp ghee (can sub avocado oil or olive oil for dairy free)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 ¼ tsp tsp salt
  • chives, parsley & chopped bacon to garnish (optional)

Garlic & Chive Aioli (optional)

  • cup avocado mayo (I use Primal Kitchen or Chosen Foods)
  • squeeze lemon
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp fresh chives, chopped
  • salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place cleaned potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Add ¼ tsp of salt to the water and bring to medium heat.
  • Bring the water to a boil and cook until fork tender, which should be about 20 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes and allow to cool to the touch, about 5 minutes. Once cool enough, transfer potatoes to the sheet, spaced apart.
  • Using a spatula or bottom of a glass/jar, smash the potatoes. The thinner, the crispier!
  • Drizzle avocado oil and melted ghee (if using) over top of the potatoes and then add the seasonings, ensuring the potatoes are evenly covered.
  • Cook for 25 minutes or until crispy. Allow to cool, then top with fresh herbs and chopped bacon, if you'd like. Drizzle with homemade ranch or dip into Garlic and Chive Aioli!
