Roasted smashed potatoes & caper berries
Mouthwatering delicious snack perfect for busy days. Comes together quickly and with minimal efforts.
Ingredients
- 250 Gms Baby potatoes
- 1.5 Tbsps Butter
- 1.5 Tbsps Garlic - minced
- Sea salt to taste
- 1/2 Tsp Black pepper
- 1/4 Cup Caper berries & Jalapenos
- 2 Tbsps Parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbsp Cilantro - chopped
- 1 Tbsp Hot garlic sauce
Instructions
- I use a pack of baby potatoes to make this. Pressure cook them to upto one whistle and let the steam release on it’s own. If you don’t have pressure cooker, boil them for 20 mins in a pot. Then keep each of them on a chopping board and smash them gently using a wooden potato smasher. Smash with the back of any flat base bowl if you don’t have potato smasher. Do not peel the potatoes.
- Preheat the oven at 200 C fan assisted.
- Meanwhile, mix together 1.5 tbsps butter, 1.5 tbsps minced garlic, sea salt to taste, 1/2 tsp black pepper. Brush this butter mix on the smashed potatoes and place them on a lined baking tray facing down (ideally in a single layer). Brush the remaining butter on top. Sprinkle a mix of 1/4 cup of caper berries and jalapeños. Grate 2 tbsps parmesan cheese and sprinkle that too on top.
- Roast them in a preheated oven for about 15-20 mins or until they look golden brown crisp.
- Take it out of the oven, sprinkle a tbsp of chopped cilantro and another tbsp of hot garlic sauce/sriracha.Enjoy!!!
