Smashed Potatoes Recipe

Peel and halve the potatoes.
Sprinkle salt on the halves and deep fry them on a low flame.
Poke them with a knife to check if they are tender.
If they are done, remove them from the oil and let them cool for five minutes.

Then, using the palm of your hand, gently flatten the potatoes on a rolling board.
Before serving, deep fry them on a high flame until they turn golden in color.

Garnish each piece with a pinch of red chilli powder, mango powder, coriander powder, and a few drops of heated oil.
Serve hot.

Variations
For a healthier version, smashed potatoes can be baked instead of deep-fried. Spices can be adjusted to include cumin powder, turmeric, or garam masala for a different flavor profile.
