Smash Fries deliver a savory and aromatic flavor profile, combining the earthy taste of potatoes with the pungent aroma of garlic and rosemary, all enhanced by the richness of olive oil.
The primary flavor comes from the potatoes, providing a starchy base. Garlic introduces a sharp, savory note that complements the potato's mildness. Rosemary adds a piney, slightly peppery aroma and flavor, creating complexity. Olive oil contributes a smooth, fruity undertone and helps bind the other flavors together. The 'smashing' technique increases the surface area for flavor absorption, resulting in a more intense taste experience. Salt and pepper balance the flavors.

Potato Selection
Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for their creamy texture and ability to crisp up nicely when smashed and fried. Yukon Golds offer a slightly sweeter flavor, while Russets provide a more classic french fry texture.
Garlic Preparation
Mince or finely chop the garlic to ensure even distribution of flavor. Avoid burning the garlic by adding it towards the end of the cooking process.
Herb Freshness
Fresh rosemary is essential for the best flavor. If using dried rosemary, use sparingly as the flavor is more concentrated.
Smashing Technique
Partially boil the potatoes before smashing them to ensure they are tender on the inside but crispy on the outside. Use a potato masher or the bottom of a glass to gently flatten the potatoes without completely pulverizing them.
Olive Oil Quality
Use good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor. The olive oil adds a richness and enhances the other flavors in the dish.
