Pep ’n Zest & Saltitude Smashed Potatoes

Serves: 4–6
Prep: 15 minutes
Cooking: 40–45 minutes
Crispy golden baby potatoes smashed, roasted and brushed with buttery garlic and BlixSam Pep ’n Zest, then finished with a generous shake of BlixSam Saltitude. Crunchy edges, fluffy centres and loads of lemon-pepper, salt-and-vinegar flavour.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg baby potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 80 g butter, melted
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1½ tbsp BlixSam Pep ’n Zest – Lemon Pepper
  • ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan
  • BlixSam Saltitude – Salt & Vinegar, for finishing
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a large baking tray.
  2. Place the baby potatoes in a pot of water and boil for 15–20 minutes, until fork-tender.
  3. Drain well and allow them to steam-dry for a few minutes.
  4. Arrange the potatoes on the baking tray and gently smash each one with the bottom of a glass or potato masher.
  5. Mix the melted butter, garlic and 1 tbsp Pep ’n Zest.
  6. Brush the smashed potatoes generously with the Pep ’n Zest garlic butter, then drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Sprinkle with Parmesan and the remaining ½ tbsp Pep ’n Zest.
  8. Roast for 20–25 minutes, until deeply golden with crispy edges.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately finish with a generous shake of Saltitude.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve piping hot with lemon wedges.

💛 BlixSam Tip

Let the boiled potatoes steam-dry before smashing them — less surface moisture means crispier edges.
Use Pep ’n Zest in the garlic butter so the lemon-pepper flavour roasts into the potatoes, then add Saltitude after roasting for that bold salt-and-vinegar finish.
🔥 Crispy edges. Fluffy centres. Garlic butter. Lemon pepper. Salt with Attitude!
