Follow The Directions

01

Step
30 mins

In a medium saucepan, arrange potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or until a fork easily pierces through the center of a potato. Drain thoroughly and allow to cool for approximately 10 minutes, until they can be handled comfortably.

02

Step
5 mins

Position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450°F (232°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Arrange the cooled potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.

03

Step
3 mins

Using a flat-bottomed glass or the bottom of a measuring cup, gently but firmly smash each potato to approximately ½-inch thickness. If a potato crumbles slightly, simply press it back together. The irregular shapes contribute to the rustic charm of the dish.

04

Step
2 mins

In a blender or food processor, combine the corn oil and minced chipotles. Process for 1 minute, or until a smooth, vibrant emulsion forms.

05

Step
2 mins

Drizzle the chipotle oil mixture evenly over the smashed potatoes. Gently lift each potato to ensure the flavorful oil coats the underside as well. Season generously with sea salt.

06

Step
35 mins

Roast in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are deeply golden brown and exquisitely crisp, with slightly caramelized edges. Monitor closely to prevent burning.

07

Step
1 mins

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch of elegance.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the chipotle oil mixture.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; roast in batches if necessary to ensure proper crisping.
These potatoes are best served immediately while they are at their peak crispness. However, they can be reheated in a hot oven for a few minutes if needed.
Experiment with different types of potatoes! Yukon Golds will yield a creamier interior, while red potatoes will hold their shape well.
