“SMASHED” ? Yes friends, that’s what I said … BUT WHY ? Because they’re tender on the inside, crispy on the outside … HARD TO MAKE ? Noooooooooo ! DO I HAVE TO BE TOUGH & STRONG TO SMASH THEM ? Stop it. Are they easy to make ? Yesssss ... I made mine with lemon and garlic and olive oil, like a good Greek boy, but you can spice them, herb them up and flavour them to your liking. The wheat semolina I add is also a Greek trick to absorb excess moisture (because we like to add lemon juice) so they’re crispy when you take them out of the oven and not soggy. So, what are you waiting for ? Just do it … These are great with my oven-broiled fish recipe (see recipe here). And if you like potatoes, go check out Stephanie Le's (and her blue hair) website “i am a food blog”, a fellow Canadian food blogger living in Vancouver… now there’s a “chick” who knows and loves her potatoes. She even signs her recipes “made with love and potatoes”. I love that … :)
