    How to Make Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Fried Onions and Parsley

    1. Steam Potatoes

    Fill a large pot with water and insert a steamer basket, then bring the water to a simmer. Add the new potatoes to the basket and sprinkle them with kosher salt. Cover and steam for 8 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Let cool slightly.

    2. Smash Potatoes

    Gently smash each potato until crushed but still holding together. This will increase the surface area for maximum crispiness during frying.

    3. Fry Potatoes

    Heat chicken fat, olive oil, or peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add smashed potatoes in a single layer, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and fry for about 5 minutes per side until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.

    4. Fry Onions

    In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter. Add thinly sliced yellow onion rings, season with kosher salt and black pepper, and fry for 4 to 6 minutes until soft and beginning to caramelize.

    5. Combine and Serve

    Return potatoes to the skillet with onions, sprinkle with Aleppo pepper or crushed red pepper flakes, and toss gently. Serve topped with flaky sea salt and chopped parsley.
