Cover with water. Bring to a light boil and cook until fork tender. Use a sharp pair knife to test potatoes doneness after 10 minutes. Continue to cook (another 3-5 minutes) until knife inserted can be removed with no friction or very easily.
Once done, drain. Cool, then place in airtight container or place in sealable bag in the refrigerator until ready to smashed and crisped.
Crisp Potatoes
Remove potatoes from refrigerator and bring to room temperature. You can microwave for 1-2 minutes to accomplish this if in a hurry.
Using the bottom of a glass, gently press each potato, just breaking the skin to flatten into a disc.
Heat a medium sauté pan using cooking spray, a bit of oil, or my performer nothing at all but the heat.
Watch carefully to avoid burning if not using cooking spray. Turn once or twice to crisp each potato.
Spicy Ketchup
Combine ketchup and chipotle hot sauce. Serve with potatoes.
