Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt. Do not peel them.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt, then bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
Boil the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly for 5 minutes until they are easy to handle.
Turn on your oven's broiler or preheat to a high broil setting.
Gently press each potato with the back of a fork or a potato masher until slightly flattened, but still intact. Be careful not to break them apart completely.
Place the crushed potatoes on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking tray.
Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle them with minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are golden and crispy.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and scatter the chopped mint leaves over the potatoes.
Top with the crumbled feta cheese evenly across the dish.
Serve the crushed new potatoes warm as a side dish or as a light meal, and enjoy the balance of freshness and tanginess.
