Griddled Smashed New Potatoes with Onions
  1. 1

    Put the new potatoes and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave on high until they are soft enough to smash, about 8 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat an outdoor skillet over high heat and lightly oil the grate. Set a cast-iron skillet on the grill to preheat.

  3. 3

    Drain the water from the potato bowl and add the onion and olive oil; toss to combine. Carefully spread the potato mixture in the skillet and smash each potato with the back of a spatula.

  4. 4

    Grill until the onions are browned and the potatoes are crispy, about 5 minutes per side. Season with seasoned salt and paprika.
