Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a fork or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato to flatten them slightly without breaking them apart.
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle with the minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh thyme, and fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
While the potatoes are roasting, mix the ricotta cheese with a little salt and pepper in a small bowl. Optionally, you can add a bit of chopped herbs for extra flavor.
Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry the prosciutto slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are crispy. Remove from the pan and let them cool on a paper towel.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven. Top each potato with a dollop of the garlic & herb ricotta cheese mixture. Tear the crispy prosciutto into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle them over the potatoes.
Finish by adding a few sprigs of watercress on top of the potatoes for a fresh garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy your smashed chat potatoes with garlic & herb cheese and prosciutto!
Tips:
- Choose potatoes of similar size to ensure they cook evenly.
- Make sure to smash the potatoes gently to avoid breaking them apart completely.
- For extra crispiness, broil the potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
- Experiment with different herbs like rosemary or oregano to suit your taste preferences.
- Ensure the garlic is finely minced to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the cheese mixture.
- Prosciutto can be substituted with bacon or pancetta for a different flavor profile.
With this recipe, you can create a delicious and elegant dish that is as impressive as it is tasty. The combination of smashed potatoes topped with garlic and herb-infused ricotta, finished with savory prosciutto, is a sure crowd-pleaser. Enjoy your culinary creation with a side salad or on its own for a delightful meal experience.
