Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, and boil for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Using the bottom of a cup or jar, gently press down on each potato to create a “bubble” on the surface. Be careful not to smash them completely!
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until crispy and golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
- Remove from the skillet and serve immediately.
Additional Notes: If you don’t want to fry the potatoes, you can also bake them in the oven at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
