Photo: Crispy East-Side Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon brown or black mustard seeds
- 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
Directions
Pop the potatoes into a medium saucepan and fill with cold water until covered by about 1-inch. Season well with salt. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, and cook until a fork inserted into the center of the potato meets no resistance, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and pass through a ricer or food mill. Stir in the butter while hot.
Warm the oil over medium-high heat in a skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the seeds; they should sizzle upon contact. Once they stop popping, add the onions and saute until softened.
Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and flatten with a spatula so that potatoes can begin to crisp. Continue to toss and re-flatten the potatoes until there are patches of crispy deliciousness all the way through the potatoes, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

I used Idaho potatoes which i should have seasoned more they are not naturally as flavorful as the yukon gold. The dish was still good not crispy as i would have liked.

So easy and so flavorful! My husband is a midwest meat and potatoes man. He appreciated the simplicity of these potatoes and I enjoyed the added flavor from the spices and onion. I actually only used the fennel seed in this recipe b/c I absolutely forgot to add the other spices. They were still so so delicious. I like to do a "non-traditional" Christmas dinner every year and these were on the menu this year along with Aarti's vanilla and peppercon pork tenderloin and Aarti's artichoke and garbanzo masala. This was by far THE BEST Christmas dinner I have prepared. Not sure how I am gonna top this one next year!
