Can you even believe the holiday season is already upon us? It certainly came up quick, but I am definitely ready! I'm that person that had out the lights and festive colored pillows on November 1st. There's really nothing I love more than the holidays, and more specifically, the delicious holiday food!
So, of course, I've already been recipe testing some new ideas and was really feeling like it's time to spice things up this season! That's where this spicy honey smashed potato recipe comes in. I love a good potato recipe, but I wanted something a little more fun, delicious, and with that extra flavor!
These potatoes are made with El Yucateco® Red Habanero Hot Sauce which is the #1 habanero sauce in the US and is made from the whole fruit of the pepper. It's a non-vinegar based hot sauce with the most perfect flavor that really is the star of this recipe. Whether you're heating up the holidays with these smashed potatoes, spicing up your own favorite holiday recipe, or just looking for a delicious gift or stocking stuffer, El Yucateco® is the way to go!
So let's get to it!
Here's What You'll Need:
1 lb creamer potatoes
1 tbsp ghee (or unsalted butter), melted
1 tbsp EVOO
1 tsp honey
Salt and pepper to taste
1 green onion, chopped
Instructions:
Cook your creamer potatoes until tender and easily pierced by a fork. You can do this by microwaving them for about 5 minutes or by boiling them.
In a bowl, mix together the El Yucateco® Red Habanero Hot Sauce, melted ghee, EVOO, honey, salt, and pepper.
Toss the potatoes with the mixture.
Spread out the potatoes on a parchment lined baking sheet, reserving any extra sauce.
Using the bottom of a jar or mug, smash the potatoes on the baking sheet.
Bake the potatoes in a preheated 450 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Flip the potatoes and bake for an additional 10 minutes until crispy.
Drizzle any extra sauce over the top of the potatoes and top with the chopped green onion.
Serve and enjoy!
