FAQ

Q: Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes?
A: Yes, but cut them into evenly sized chunks so they cook and smash evenly.

Q: How do I make them extra crispy?
A: Make sure the potatoes are dry before baking and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.

Q: Can I make them ahead of time?
A: You can boil and cool the potatoes in advance, then smash and bake them just before serving.
