Ingredients

• 1 ½ pounds small gold potatoes

• Big handful of salt

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 1/4 cup Kinzie Espresso BBQ Sauce (plus extra for topping)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1/2 cup sour cream (for dipping)

• 1 small bundle of fresh chives, finely chopped

• Optional: Bacon crumbles for topping

Directions

Step 1: Boil the Potatoes

Add potatoes and a generous handful of salt to a large pot of water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Smash the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 450°F. Spread the cooled potatoes on a large sheet pan. Use a flat-bottomed jar or mug to gently smash each potato until they’re about 1/3 inch thick.

Step 3: Add the BBQ Sauce

Drizzle Kinzie Espresso BBQ Sauce evenly over the smashed potatoes. Use a pastry or basting brush to ensure they’re coated evenly for maximum flavor.

Step 4: Bake to Crispy Perfection

Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

Perfect Pairings

These smashed potatoes pair beautifully with:

• Grilled steak or chicken

• BBQ ribs or pulled pork

• A fresh garden salad for a lighter meal

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Serve straight from the oven or transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with more Kinzie Espresso BBQ Sauce, sprinkle with fresh chives, bacon crumbles (optional), and season with salt and pepper. Serve with sour cream for dipping and enjoy!
