Intro

These Baked Smash Potato Chips take your traditional smashed potatoes to the next level. Flattened to resemble chips, they’re baked until crisp and golden, then drenched in Zaatar butter and garlic for a savory, herbaceous finish. Perfect as a side dish or a main, especially when eaten hot and fresh straight off the tray.

Ingredients

  • About 30 yellow baby potatoes
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1–2 tbsp Zaatar blend
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Flaky salt (preferably)
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Boil the Potatoes
    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the baby potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  • Smash and Season
    Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a cast iron skillet or baking sheet. Arrange potatoes and use a jar or cup to press and flatten each one into a thick chip shape.
  • Add Zaatar Butter
    Melt the butter and mix with garlic and zaatar. Drizzle this mixture over the smashed potatoes. Scatter rosemary, flaky salt, and black pepper on top.
  • Bake Until Crispy
    Roast for 20–25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately while hot.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with labneh, garlic sauce, or enjoy them as an appetizer with dipping sauces.
