Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes
Salt and vinegar potato chips as a smashed potato? Yes! Crisp outside and creamy inside, these smashed potatoes feature the popular, puckery potato-chip flavor. We tried multiple vinegars for this recipe but found that punchy white vinegar was best. To add a quadruple punch of tangy flavors, the potatoes are boiled in vinegar-spiked water, tossed with vinegar before roasting, hit with a splash when they’re hot from the oven, and served with a drizzle of vinegar-spiked mayonnaise.

01In a large pot, combine the potatoes, 3 tablespoons salt, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and 2 quarts water. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until a skewer inserted into the potatoes meets no resistance, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 500°F with a rack in the middle position. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar and ¼ teaspoon pepper; set aside.

Delicious Summer Side Dish!
Great recipe! It was easy to follow and make. I paired it with asparagus and shrimp for a bright late spring/early summer dinner. It was amazing!

Another winner!
This is so delicious! I love vinegar and this is just the right amount. It’s very simple and great with a roast or something which doesn’t have a sharp taste.

Really Good
I am not always a big fan of roasted potatoes but these have changed my mind; I think it's the sauce that makes the difference as RP can be dry. Will definitely make again.
