Smashed Potatoes with Edamame Hummus
These smashed potatoes with edamame hummus literally burst with flavor. The hummus has strong notes of rosemary and lime which surprisingly goes perfectly with the smoky and crispy smashed potatoes. This dish is the perfect finger food or dinner appetizer, but you can also serve the edamame hummus alone as a chip or veggie dip.
Edamame Hummus
The base of the hummus is edamame, olive oil and tahini – from there, you can freestyle whatever ingredients you want. I went with lime, rosemary, and garlic – an unlikely combo, but these three went so great together.
If you’d like an oil free version, swap the olive oil for avocado. Use as a dip, or add a dollop on top of your favorite macro bowl or salad.
Smashed Potatoes
I love potatoes. They’re so easy to prepare, and despite having a bad rap are a great weight loss food. The reason they are so great for weight loss is because they fill you up so fast. The addition of the edamame hummus on top of these baby potatoes will fill you up quickly and will keep you satiated for hours due to the many minerals and vitamins packed into this dish.
These smashed potatoes are very similar to my SMASHED BRUSSELS SPROUTS – the edamame hummus goes great as a topping on those as well.
The key to perfecting the potatoes is making sure you boil them until they are tender. If you can’t easily stick a fork in the side, they’re not ready! Once you’re ready to bake the potatoes, make sure they’re in the oven for at least 30 min. Check them out, and if they’re not as crispy as you’d like put them in for another 10-15 minutes. You shouldn’t need more than 45 minutes.
