Smashbrowns
Source: Recipe courtesy Chuck Hughes
2 to 3 Yukon gold potatoes
4 cloves garlic
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Boil potatoes. Drain water. In a bowl, add the potatoes and garlic cloves and mash. Keep potatoes a little chunky to add texture. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil on medium heat in a frying pan. Cook the shallots until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the shallots to the smashed potatoes. Add the smashed potatoes to a pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and fry. Using a spatula flip the potatoes constantly to allow them to crisp up and turn golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Yield: 4 servings
