Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs of yellow mini potatoes
- ¼ cup kosher salt
- ¼ cup of olive oil, divided
- 1-2 Top Ramen® Chili seasoning packets
- 1 can of gravy
- 2-3 tbsp of butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450F.
Rinse potatoes of any excess dirt, then fill a large pot with cold water so that the potatoes will be fully submerged. Bring the water to boil over high heat then add ¼ cup kosher salt to the water and add the potatoes.
Boil for 12-14 minutes or until fork tender. Drain the potatoes and put them back into the empty pot for 1 minute to evaporate any excess moisture from the potatoes.
On a nonstick baking sheet, drizzle olive oil evenly across the sheet, reserving some oil for Step 6. Spread the oil around the baking sheet so that it is covered entirely. Add the potatoes to the baking sheet and roll them around in the oil so they are coated, then evenly spread them out on the baking sheet.
Use a flat-bottomed object like a glass cup to smash the potatoes to a ½-inch thickness.
Drizzle or brush the remaining olive oil onto the tops of the smashed potatoes.
Melt your butter and add chili seasoning packets in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the potatoes.
Roast the potatoes at 450F for 30-45 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Drizzle gravy on top of smashed potatoes and serve.
