Potatoes be it in creamy form like garlic mashed potatoes, Baked Mashed Potatoes Casserole, Scalloped Potatoes or baked crispy like Hasselback Potatoes, Baked Greek Wedges, it is one of the most versatile veggies. Smashed potatoes have both. These are crispy around the edges, the skin also crisps up and from the inside it is still creamy and fluffy. These are really fun to serve at a gathering or as a side dish with any meal. You can also serve this as a side dish, as it pairs well with many main dishes with a sauce/ gravy such as Pork Chops In Mushroom Sauce, Skillet Pork Chop with Sour Cream Sauce, Ranch Chicken, Garlic Parmesan Chicken, Chicken Thighs in Mushroom Sauce.
Can I make crispy potatoes in a skillet?
Of course, you can. Use a good cast-iron skillet to make these Crispy Cajun Potatoes. You will have to cook in batches, unlike baked version where you can make a big batch. All you have to do is arrange smashed potatoes in a single layer in a hot greased skillet. Once they are brown on one side, using a spatula flip them carefully. Cook until they are crisp and golden. Towards the end brush cajun seasoning and cook for a few minutes.
