I have always loved potatoes, but since switching to a gluten-free lifestyle, I have been enjoying them more and more to replace the satisfaction I used to get from wheat-based bread and pasta. One of my favorite ways to enjoy buttery Yukon golds is quickly steamed and then smashed with a spoon and mixed with fresh herbs or green onions, a little olive oil, and broth.
Ingredients
- Yukon gold potatoes,
1½ lb 750 g - Extra-virgin olive oil,
3 tablespoons - Gluten-free chicken broth, about ½ cup (
4 fl oz 125 ml - Fresh herbs or green onions,
2–4 tablespoons minced - Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Steam the potatoes over simmering water until very tender, 15–18 minutes.
In a large nonstick frying pan over low heat, warm the oil. Add the potatoes. Using a wooden spoon, smash the potatoes coarsely, adjusting their texture as necessary with the broth. Mix in the herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve right away.
