Ingredients 

• 16 small-medium sized potatoes, scrubbed

Green Sauce :

• 90ml freshly squeezed orange juice

• water to thin (start with 20ml and add more if necessary)

How to make it

Cook until tender when pierced with a knife, 10-12 minutes. Let cool slightly, then using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, smash each potato until 0.5-1cm thick.

2. Transfer smashed potatoes to a sheet pan and toss gently with 2 tbsp olive oil and laky salt. Roast, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, approx. 30 minutes.
