Giving each potato enough space allows the heat to circulate properly, helping them develop those irresistible golden edges.

Crispy smashed potatoes are the perfect recipe for those looking for something easy to prepare but still packed with flavour.

The potatoes are boiled until tender, gently flattened and roasted until golden and crisp, creating a delicious contrast between their crunchy edges and soft, fluffy centres.

Served with a creamy garlic dip, they can be enjoyed as a snack, side dish or a light weekend meal. The recipe is also easy to customise, with fresh herbs, chilli flakes or grated Parmesan adding extra flavour.

The key to achieving perfectly crispy potatoes is to avoid overcrowding the baking tray. Giving each potato enough space allows the heat to circulate properly, helping them develop those irresistible golden edges.
