Servings Servings Ingredients 1 28 ounce bag Honey Gold Potatoes (you could also use Yukon Gold) 2 Tbsp canola oil salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Rinse potatoes in a colander, but do not peel.
2. Place the potatoes in a large pan and cover with water; add 1 tsp of salt.
3. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until just tender. Be careful to not overcook the potatoes or they will start falling apart. The small honey gold potatoes will only take about 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Heat the canola oil in a large heavy skillet. Add several potatoes and gently smash with a potato masher or the bottom of a heat-proof glass. Try to keep the potatoes about 1/2-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper and fry until crisp on both sides.
5. Remove potatoes to a sheet pan and keep warm in a 250° F oven until all of the potatoes have been fried.

Recipe Notes

When frying the potatoes, work in batches. If you crowd the pan, your potatoes won't get that yummy crispy crust that makes these potatoes so amazing.
