Brightland's Chef in Residence, Noreen Wasti, has shared the recipe for Crispy, Spicy Smashed Potatoes with Garlic Cilantro Labneh, highlighting how to cook boldly with our new, limited-run Robust Trio.
"Who doesn’t love a crispy smashed potato? They are viral on TikTok for a reason. This recipe highlights the combination of ARDOR and ROSETTE in preparation."
"ARDOR adds spice and heat to the potatoes while roasting, complemented by a few dried spices. ROSETTE with labneh, cilantro, and lemon is the creamy cool down you need." -Noreen Wasti
For the potatoes
Ingredients
- 1 lb baby gold (yellow) potatoes
- 1 Tbsp + 1/2 tsp salt, divided
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp old bay seasoning
- 1/4 cup of Brightland ARDOR olive oil
Instructions
- 1 Preheat oven to 425F.
- 2 Place potatoes and 1 tablespoon of salt in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- 3 Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, old bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and ARDOR. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
- 4 Place potatoes on a large sheet pan and use the bottom of a mug/cup/bowl (anything works) to smash the potatoes flat.
- 5 Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until golden and crispy. Prepare labneh in the meantime.
"This dish kind of reminds me of nostalgic old school potato chips with ranch dip, and I’m here for it." -Noreen Wasti
