Preparation
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, then add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt and the potatoes. Cook for 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let cool for 5 minutes, or until safe to handle.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C)..
- Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and smash using the bottom of a cup or a fork to about ¼ inch thick. Arrange the smashed potatoes in a single layer, then drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and garlic powder.
- Roast the potatoes for 40 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the potatoes are roasting, make the ginger scallion sauce: Heat the avocado oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
- Add the scallions, garlic, ginger and salt to a medium heatproof bowl. Carefully pour the hot oil into the bowl. The mixture will sizzle a lot. Once the aromatics stop sizzling, stir with a spoon until evenly mixed. Set aside until ready to use.
- To serve, transfer the roasted potatoes to a platter and top with the ginger scallion sauce. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
