Gregor Clegane's Smashed Potatoes | Game of Thrones Inspired Recipes
One might say that the Mountain is twice baked - just like these potatoes.
Ingredients
- 12 red skinned potatoes whole
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 strips bacon cooked & crumbled
- fresh dill for topping
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes of all dirt and remove any eyes or black spots. Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with water.
- Bring the pot of water to a rolling boil. When the water hits a rapid simmer, cook for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Remove the potatoes from the water and allow to air dry for about 5 minutes. Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or greased lightly.
- Use the bottom of a mug or flat-bottomed dish to smash the potatoes flat. Place a pat of butter onto each potato and sprinkle each potato with smoked paprika. Season with the sea salt and cracked pepper, as desired. Bake the potatoes for another 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from the skillet and dry on a paper towel lined plate, then crumble or chop finely. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice and Greek yogurt until combined. Chill until the potatoes have finished cooking.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle on the crumbled bacon and give a generous drizzle of the Greek yogurt sauce. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with fresh dill for a pop of flavor and color. Enjoy with Qyburn in the Red Keep.
