Ingredients
-
1 pound of small Yukon gold potatoes, rinsed well
-
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
-
Kosher salt, to taste
-
¼ cup mayo (we like kewpie)
-
Juice of ¼ orange or lemon
-
1 tbsp Cloud23 Hot Habanero Hot Sauce
-
Optional: 1 tsp honey
-
½ lb brie, cut into one inch pieces
-
5 pieces cooked bacon, crumbled
-
2 tbsp fresh chives
-
Pepper, to taste
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Boil the potatoes until fork tender - about 15-20 mins. Drain in a colander and let steam for at least 5 minutes.
Add boiled potatoes to a sheet pan and toss with olive oil. Using a potato masher, gently smash each potato. (You can also use the bottom of a mason jar or measuring cup if you don’t have access to a masher.) Try to get them as thin as you can without letting them fall apart. Brush the top of each potato with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for about 40 minutes, until crispy and golden brown but not burnt.
While the potatoes are roasting, make the spicy aioli. Mix together the mayo, orange juice, hot sauce, and honey if using until well combined. Taste and adjust ingredients as needed.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and place a piece of brie on each smashed potato. Return to the oven for just a few minutes - until the brie is lightly melted.
Drizzle each smashed potato with the spicy aioli and top with crushed bacon and chives. Serve immediately.
