Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 500 g baby potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil or other neutral oil
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 50 g unsalted butter
  • 20 g sage leaves stripped, stalks discarded

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 220C (430°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Boil baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender. Drain well, and let them steam in the colander for a few minutes.
  • Arrange the potatoes on a prepared baking sheet. Using a flat-bottomed glass or a cup, press the potatoes down to form rough patties with uneven edges.
  • Drizzle with oil and sprinkle salt and black pepper all over.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until they are very crispy with deep golden brown edges.
  • In the meantime, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow it to bubble and foam, and stir until you start seeing plenty of browned bits and the butter starts smelling nutty. Watch closely after the foaming subsides, as butter can burn quickly.
  • Add the sage leaves and allow them to fry in the browned butter for 30-60 seconds. Then take the pan off heat immediately. Transfer the crispy sage leaves on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Arrange the crispy smashed potatoes on a serving plate, drizzle or brush with browned butter and arrange crispy sage leaves on top.
