What type of potatoes are best for smashing?

Waxy potatoes like baby red potatoes or Yukon Golds work best for smashed green onion potato bombs . They hold their shape after boiling, crisp up nicely, and stay creamy in the center.

Can I prep smashed potato bombs ahead of time?

Yes! You can boil and smash the potatoes, then store them in the fridge on a baking tray. When you're ready, just drizzle with oil, season, and bake fresh. They also reheat beautifully in a toaster oven or air fryer.

How do I make them extra crispy?

The key is drying your potatoes well after boiling, using enough oil, and baking at a high temperature—at least 425°F. Don’t overcrowd your baking sheet, or they’ll steam instead of roast.

What should I serve with smashed green onion potato bombs?

These make a great side for grilled mains or pair with baked feta chicken quinoa bowls for a complete meal. For a lighter spread, enjoy them next to a dense bean salad or lemony greens.
