Smashed Potatoes with Kombu Butter

CRISPY, SMASHED POTATOES THAT ARE BETTER THAN FRENCH FRIES!

There’s a reason why almost every single event we have for Blend Catering features these potatoes. Once a client tastes them, its no question on what they are going to go with.

We do deep fry them for our catering company but using the different cooking options in the Our Place air fryer allows you to get the job done as if they were deep fried.

Bake them, smash them, crisp them and toss them in a rosemary-garlic-kombu brown butter and a little freshly grated lemon zest and maldon salt takes them to the next level and honestly, makes them better than french fries.

Try out this very simple recipe and see for yourself why this is the best crispy potato ever!

Potatoes:

• 2 pounds baby potatoes

• 2 tsp olive oil

• salt to taste

1. in an air fryer, add in your potatoes and then set to 300 degrees Fahrenheit

2. cook your potatoes until fully cooked through, about 35-40 minutes

3. remove your potatoes and cover them to let them steam for about 15 minutes. This really helps smashing them and making sure they stay uniform after smashing

4. turn up your air fryer to its hottest setting

5. toss your smashed potatoes in olive oil and a little salt

6. add your smashed potatoes to your air fryer and fry on each side, flipping once until they are dark golden brown on each side, about 5-7 minutes per side

7. remove your potatoes and toss with salt, freshly grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon) and your brown butter mix (recipe to follow) and a little more flakey salt!

Rosemary-garlic-kombu brown butter:

• 1 pound butter

• 2 tsp minced rosemary

• salt to taste

• 6 garlic cloves, peeled, grated

• 1 tsp minced thyme

• 1 small piece Kombu seaweed

1. in a medium sized pot, add your butter and turn the heat to medium

2. stir occasionally until your butter begins to brown

3. when the butter is dark golden, remove from the heat and stir in the rest of your ingredients.

4. let the kombu steep for 15 minutes, then remove from the mix before serving
