Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Green Chutney

Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 white potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • chaat masala *optional, but recommended

Green Chutney

  • 1 cup cilantro
  • ½ cup mint
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 2 small green chilis, chopped
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ cup cashews *optional but recommended for texture purposes
  • ½ tsp amchur powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp water

Instructions
 

  • Boil potatoes in salted water in an uncovered pot for 20-25 minutes. Alternatively, you can pressure cook them until soft.
  • While potatoes boil or pressure cook, blend the chutney in a food processor. First, blend all ingredients except for water and lime juice. Then add lime juice and a little bit of water at a time until you are at your desired texture.
  • Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • Let potatoes cool off for 5 minutes. Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil on a baking sheet. Place potatoes on the baking sheet.
  • Smash potatoes with the back of a glass or a potato masher.
  • Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, pepper, salt and if using, chaat masala, on the potatoes.
  • Bake for around 25 minutes, but feel free to extend this for 5-10 minutes for extra crispness. Reheat on the stove, in the oven, or in the air fryer.
  • Top with chutney and anything else you'd like (yogurt, pomegranate seeds, chaat masala, etc.).
