These spicy smashed potatoes are boiled, seasoned with cajun spices, and baked until crispy. Topped with garlic, olive oil, and butter, they make for a delightful side dish or snack.
1: Rinse your potatoes, then add them to a large pot.
2: Fill the pot with water and salt, cover it, and bring it to a boil over high heat.
