Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 225 °C / 440 °F

  • Place all seasonings for the potatoes including salt in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Place potatoes in a large bowl and add 2 tbsp oil, toss to coat all potatoes then and ⅔ of the seasoning, toss again.
  • Transfer potatoes onto a large oven sheet. Place another baking sheet on top and press to smash all potatoes evenly or smash them individually using the bottom of a glass or cup. Drizzle potatoes with remaining ½ tbsp oil (optional) and add remaining seasoning on the top. Bake for 25 minutes, flip the potatoes and bake for another 20 minutes or until golden brown and a little crispy around the edges.
  • Mix ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Add some water (1 tbsp at a time) if it’s too thick and mix again. Set to the side.
  • When potatoes are done, place on a serving dish and top with some of the dip and toppings before serving.
