Ingredients

Smash'd R'ds

  • 15-20 mini red potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper Freshly ground

Chipotle BBQ Sauce

  • 1/3 Cup ketchup Heinz Organic is a good choice
  • 1 chipotle pepper minced, in adobo, adjust to your own taste
  • 2-1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 large shallot minced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2-1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 large shallot - minced
  • 3 cloves garlic- minced
  • 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions

Smash'd R'ds

  • Wash potatoes and add to a large pot. Cover with water by 3-4'. Add about 1/2 tsp salt and bring to the boil. Cook for 9-10 minutes until a wooden skewer easily passes through a potato. Be careful not too overcook.
  • Remove potatoes to a towel and let cool for 10 minutes. Fold a kitchen towel in four, place it on top of a potato and press straight down to 'smash' the potato. Potato should be about 1/2' thick. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and brush with the best olive oil you have. Place smashed potatoes in a single layer on the parchment and leave to cool completely. (Note: this recipe can be made up to this point up to a day ahead.)
  • Preheat oven to 450 F. Brush the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with your best salt and freshly ground pepper. Bake for 40 minutes until crispy - gently flipping them half way through.

Chipotle BBQ Sauce

  • Combine ketchup, chipotle in adobo, brown sugar and cumin in a bowl and mix well.
  • Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic and saute lightly stirring regularly until soft - but not colored. Remove from heat and add to ketchup mixture.

Notes

Enjoy!
