Smashed potatoes got their name from the process of crushing the potatoes with a masher or fork, resulting in a slightly uneven and rustic texture. It’s a simple yet satisfying way to prepare potatoes, and the end result is always delicious!

What kind of potato is the best?

Look for small potatoes and that when they are cooked they are soft and even creamy.

I like fingerling potatoes, Galena potatoes or Creole potatoes.
Look for small chips, the smallest you can find.

WHAT IS KIMCHI?

Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish of seasoned and fermented vegetables. Traditional kimchi is made with Napa cabbage, garlic, ginger, and other spices including chili peppers. In Korea, this dish is used as a side dish or to finish dishes.

🔥 IMPORTANT NOTE🔥

Not all kimchis are vegan, there are several types depending on the region they are from.

It is important that you read the labels of the jars you buy.
 
There are different types of kimichi and some have fish or anchovies paste or shrimp powder.

How do you know when the potatoes are done?

When you take the smashed potatoes out of the oven the second time, they should be golden brown on the edges. They look a bit dry, but do not worry, it’s only on the outside.

When you see them like this, they are ready for you to finish with the kimchi mayo and other ingredients. I finish them with thinly sliced scallions, sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, jalapeño slices, and a squeeze of lime juice.

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Put the potatoes on a baking sheet, add the oil and salt. Use your hands to cover them well.
    Bake for 15-20 minutes or when the chops are soft.
  • While the potatoes are in the oven, make the kimchi mayo.
    Put the kimchi, mayonnaise, sesame oil, soy sauce, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor along with the pinch of salt.
    Turn on and let it run until it has a creamy consistency.
  • Chop the cilantro, jalapeño and scallions. Set aside.

Notes

I like to serve them on the baking sheet because the flavors of the kimchi mayo mix perfectly with the oil and the salt of the potatoes.
Save your leftover kimchi mayo in a tightly closed jar in the fridge.
