Crispy Baked Flattened Potatoes
SNS Viral Dish! Easy and Delicious Flattened Potatoes
I once saw a Western chef make these, and now they’ve become a huge trend in Korea! Seeing them all over social media, I decided to make them my own way, focusing on simplicity and enhanced flavor. Potatoes pair wonderfully with creamy, sour flavors, so I’m sharing a widely loved sauce. Leaving the skin on makes them extra crispy and nutty. I find smaller potatoes taste better! Seasoning with salt is crucial to bring out the potato’s natural sweetness, even when served with sauce. Dipping a piece generously into the sauce and taking a bite is pure bliss! I highly recommend this dish.

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. It’s best to leave the skin on for extra crispiness and a richer flavor.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a pot and add enough water to cover about one-third of them.
Step 3
Cover the pot with a lid. If using plastic wrap, pierce several holes in it with a fork before covering. (Alternatively, you can steam them).
Step 4
Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Adjust the time based on the size of your potatoes.
Step 5
Check for doneness by inserting a skewer or fork; it should slide in easily.
Step 6
Carefully press down on the warm potato using the flat bottom of a cup to flatten it.
Step 7
Gently press until flattened. Be careful not to press too hard, or the potato might break apart.
Step 8
Drizzle generously with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 9
Bake in an air fryer at 175°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
Step 10
While the potatoes are baking, let’s prepare the sauces.
Step 11
For the Yogurt Sauce: Combine 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp plain yogurt, and 1 Tbsp oligodang. Mix well. Add a pinch of black pepper and parsley flakes for extra flavor, if desired.
Step 12
For the Sriracha Sauce: Mix 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1/4 Tbsp sriracha sauce, and 1/4 Tbsp oligodang. This sauce offers a delightful sweet and spicy kick that complements the potatoes perfectly.
Step 13
Your delicious flattened potatoes are ready! They should be golden and crispy on the outside.
Step 14
Enjoy the incredible texture: crispy on the outside, fluffy and moist on the inside.
Step 15
Dip generously into your chosen sauce and savor the moment. It’s pure happiness in every bite!
Step 16
The spicy Sriracha sauce isn’t overly hot and adds a wonderful savory note, making it hard to stop eating. Absolutely delicious!
