Waffle Smashed Potatoes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb / 680 g new potatoes I used yellow, but red ones would be fine too
- 2 tbsp vegan butter like Becel Vegan, melted
- 2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
- salt to taste
Instructions
- In a large pot, boil potatoes until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes depending on the size. Once you can slide a knife or fork into a potato easily, it's ready.
- Drain and let steam dry.
- Preheat your waffle iron.
- Use a silicone basting brush to lightly butter the waffle iron for extra crispiness. Arrange potatoes on the iron, about 1 new potato per 4 waffle "squares". Sprinkle some parsley on top, and firmly press down to "smash" the cooked potatoes. Let cook for about 3-5 minutes, checking until they have beautifully golden crisp.
- Remove from iron and sprinkle with salt to taste. Continue until all potatoes are done.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
If you want to cut the cooking process, you can always boil a bunch of potatoes, store them in the fridge, and whenever you want piping hot crispy potatoes, pop them out of the fridge and waffle smash some potatoes!
