Try This: Crispy Whole30 Smashed Potatoes with Peas, Lemon & Herbed Aioli
Ingredients
- 12 gold baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup frozen green peas
- 1 whole scallion minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
Aioli
- 4 tablespoons compatible mayonnaise
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 whole scallion minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley minced
Instructions
- FILL a medium-sized saucepan about 1/3 full of water and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and once boiling, set timer for 10 minutes.
- While potatoes are boiling, prepare your aioli by MIXING all ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
- When potatoes are done boiling, remove from the saucepan.
- HEAT a cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil.
- ADD the potatoes and with the back of a metal spatula, carefully smash each potato down, being careful not to burn your hands. They should smash very easily and quickly.
- SET a timer for 3 minutes and while the potatoes are searing, carefully drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of avocado oil onto the potatoes and season with sea salt and black pepper.
- After 3 minutes, carefully FLIP each potato and allow to sear on the opposite side for 3 more minutes.
- After 3 minutes, turn off the heat and SPRINKLE potatoes with the green peas (defrost in some cold water, if needed), minced scallion and minced parsley.
- SERVE potatoes with a big dollop of the aioli.
- STORE any leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Enjoy!
