I've seen numerous variations for smashed potatoes online, but knew they would be so easy to make I didn't need to look at a recipe. Boy was I right! Clearly simple is best; especially when it comes to recipes.

Well at least I tend to think so. These Sea Salt Smashed Potatoes only use 3 ingredients: baby potatoes, extra virgin olive oil and sea salt; however, they do take about an hour to prepare because you have to boil them first before roasting them.

Sea Salt Smashed Potatoes

I like using sea salt (or Kosher salt) when I'm roasting rather than table salt as you can really taste the salty flavor as it has more trace minerals than table salt. It's also much courser, as you can see in the images, so it doesn't break down when cooked this way.

If you would like to save some time during the weeknight, cook your potatoes the night before in the water; then allow to cool and refrigerate them until you're ready to roast them the next night.

Sea Salt Smashed Potatoes

My family loved these Sea Salt Smashed Potatoes as they had a wonderful, salty flavor with a crisp golden crust on the outside and a smooth, creamy texture on the inside.

They go perfectly with just about any meal, but I served mine with a roasted chicken (since I had the oven going anyway). ~Enjoy!
