Instructions
- In a medium pot, add the potatoes and enough water to cover them by at least 1 inch. Place the pot on the stovetop over high heat.,When the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook uncovered for about 15 to 20 minutes until you can easily pierce the potatoes with a fork or paring knife.,Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain them into a colander over the sink.,Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
- While the potatoes are still hot, carefully place them on the prepared baking sheet, and use the bottom of a drinking glass, measuring cup, or other flat-bottomed object to smash them to about 1/2-inch thickness.,Don’t smash the potato down so much that it separates completely—you’re looking to create approximately 2-inch rounds, which will act as a base for the toppings.,If any potatoes do come apart, use your hands to smush them back together.,Simply Recipes / Coco Morante,Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
- Drizzle the smashed potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.,Use a spatula to gently turn the potatoes over and season them with the remaining olive oil, salt, and black pepper.,Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
- Bake the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes until they’re crisp and golden brown around the edges.,Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
- Let the potatoes cool for about 15 minutes on the baking sheet.,Top each potato with a heaping teaspoon of whipped cream cheese. Top the cream cheese with a small piece of smoked salmon, a sprinkle of red onion, and a few capers.,Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
- Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter. Serve right away.,Simply Recipes / Coco Morante
