Smashed Chilli Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 680 g Potatoes
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 3-4 tbsp Butter
- 1-2 tbsp Green Chilli Paste
- Salt To Taste
Instructions
- Steam the potatoes in the instant pot for 7 minutes, manual/quick release. If you don't have an Instant Pot then parboil them till a fork goes through - not super soft.
- Press the potatoes down with the back of a fork to "crack" them just a little - those beautiful bits will get lots of flavour.
- Heat the oil in a large wok, add the clove of garlic, stir fry 30 seconds.
- Add 2 tbsp of butter, tip in the potatoes as soon as it melts.
- Now put in 1 tsp of green chilli paste and a few pinches of salt and stir fry on high heat till most of the smashed edges are crispy and golden - 5 to 7 minutes
- Taste for seasoning and see if you want to add the remaining green chillies and butter. Serve hot. These reheat well on the wok too.
Note:
- If you don't have green chilli paste then simply grind 3-6 green chillies with a little water. You can also mince a few, but the taste will change a little.
