📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the potatoes directly to a large steamer basket.
2
Add the basket of potatoes to a large pot of boiling salted water and boil for 20 to ⏱️ 23 minutes. The water should be well seasoned and salty like the ocean.
3
Remove the potatoes and keep in strainer or basket for 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes or until they slightly cool down. You’ll know the potatoes are done when you pierce them with a fork, remove them from the water, and they slide of the fork with ease.
4
Place one of the slightly cooled potatoes on a cutting board and place a small frying pan over top. Gently press down to smash the potato.
5
Place the potatoes on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process until all the potatoes are smashed.
6
Next, add the olive oil to a large frying pan, cast-iron skillet, or griddle over medium-high heat.

7
Once the oil smoked lightly, place on the smashed potatoes.
8
Immediately add the butter around the potatoes to help brown them up and flavor them. If your pan is not big enough, you will have to do this in batches so evenly distribute the oil and butter between the batches.
