Smoked mashed potatoes are simple, easy, and delicious. The trick is that you can’t just make them and eat them; you have to make the mashed potatoes and then eat them.
I’ve been eating these mashed potatoes for about a week now and I absolutely love them. The recipe is based off of the recipe from my old blog that I posted a couple years back, but the new recipe is a lot healthier and more flavorful. The important part is that they are fried potatoes and when you cook them the skin will fall off and you can actually eat them in a stir-fry. This recipe makes them perfect for the holidays as well.
The only problem is that you have to get your hands on smoked salmon before the potatoes come out of the oven. If you’re in a hurry, you can just throw the potatoes in the microwave and they’ll cook in 10 minutes. Otherwise, just start the potatoes in the oven and they’ll finish in a few minutes.
If you don’t have smoked salmon, you can substitute bacon, but I would recommend the real thing. You can even add some smoked gouda cheese if you prefer. Just use a little oil and salt to coat the potatoes and theyll cook in a matter of minutes.
I’m not sure if the potatoes ever get crispy, but they sure do taste good.
If you really want to take the time to cook the potatoes right, you can put them in a pan of water and cook them for 15 minutes. But be warned: The water will also do the job. You can fry the potatoes on the stove for a bit longer, but it will take up a lot more oven time.
The way the potatoes are cooked really makes them taste different. And they sure are easy to cook.
Just like with most other dishes, there is a shortcut, or at least a good way to get the same result. If you don’t want to do the time-consuming task of cooking a potato, you can use a microwave. Basically, you put the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, and then cook them in one minute. The microwave will take care of the rest.
