Side Dish Alert! Smashed Baked Potatoes with Rosemary and Garlic

Potatoes are among my ultimate comfort food. Roasted, mashed, or fried — they are so versatile. However, if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic or just watching your carb intake, make sure you control your portions when eating potatoes. Potatoes are high in carbs and may raise your blood sugar levels. Also, how you cook potatoes may make them unhealthy. Baked potatoes are healthier than fried ones. In this semi-healthy smashed baked potatoes recipe, you can use olive oil instead of butter for a healthier version.

Tips for Cooking Smashed Baked Potatoes

This recipe is easy to make and will be ready in less than an hour. The secret to crispy-on-the-outside and soft on the inside baked potatoes is not to overcook them. Do not over boil them. Once you can easily pierce a fork into it, then they should be done.

Use fresh ingredients such as rosemary and garlic as they are more flavorful than dried ones. You can be creative with this dish so feel free to add your choice of herbs such as oregano or basil. You can also garnish it with chives or spring onions.

Parmesan cheese is the first option. However, you can also use other cheeses such as cheddar or mozzarella.

What’s great about this dish is that you can store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just make sure you use an airtight container. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes or in an oven toaster.
