Smashed Potatoes with Tomato Jam
Extra crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these smashed (not mashed) potatoes are bound to become one of your new favorite side dishes. Saucy tomato jam is a delightful flavor booster. Boiling the potatoes first softens them before smashing, increasing their surface area and creating a rough texture. This helps them become deliciously crispy.
