Buttery, crispy and tangy, these baked Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes with Rosemary turn your favorite potato chip flavor into a dinner party-worthy side dish.
Salt and Vinegar Potatoes
There are a million versions of smashed potatoes on the internet. However, my take is inspired by my favorite potato chip flavor, salt and vinegar. Who else loves the “punch you in the face vinegar kick” you get when biting into a salt and vinegar chip?
By dousing these salt and vinegar roasted potatoes with apple cider vinegar once out of the oven, you are indeed going to experience that smack of acidity you are hoping for. My mouth puckers just thinking about it.
There is no doubt these potatoes will become your favorite side dish to serve for casual meals or the best steak dinners.

Ingredients For Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes
Pantry Ingredients
- olive oil – save the extra-virgin olive oil for salads
- kosher salt – it has a less intense and more pure, salty taste
- freshly ground black pepper – coarse grind
- apple cider vinegar – any brand is fine
Fresh Ingredients
- fresh rosemary – nothing beats the aromatics of fresh rosemary

How To Make Salt and Vinegar Smashed Potatoes with Rosemary
- Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Boil the potatoes in salted water until they are fork tender.
- Drain them into a large colander, letting them cool enough to be handled.
- Place the potatoes on a well-oiled, rimmed baking sheet and gently mash them with a potato masher.
- Brush the top of each potato with olive oil. Season well with Kosher salt, pepper and rosemary. Place in the oven for 25 minutes until the edges are brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and brush well with apple cider vinegar. Taste and add more vinegar or salt accordingly. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
Use small potatoes. New potatoes or fingerlings, with any colored skin work well!
Clean your potatoes before boiling them. Make sure to scrub them under running water removing any dirt and/or any little nubs or sprouts.
Use a large-enough baking sheet. The baking sheet needs to be rimmed and large and you want enough space around each potato so the edges can get crispy. If necessary use two pans to fit them all and use the convection setting on your oven, turning down the temperature by twenty-five degrees.
Brush the baking sheet with olive oil. Refrain from baking these potatoes on parchment or a silicone mat. The lovely browning comes from cooking these potatoes cooking right on the baking tray itself.
What Kind Of Vinegar Should I Use?
While you can easily use regular, white distilled vinegar, the real flavor powerhouse in this recipe is the apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar gives these potatoes a more polished, subtle taste, where white distilled vinegar is just kind of a mouth-puckering pow to your taste buds..
What Entrée Should I Serve Smashed Potatoes With?
- Potato Chip Baked Chicken
- Grilled Turmeric Lemon and Lime Chicken
- Juicy Grilled Pork Chops with Spicy Peach Glaze

Wouldn’t you want to use malt vinegar, just to get that real chip shop taste?
Julie says
I absolutely adored the extra tang that the cider vinegar adds…I can almost taste it again now!

Good idea to give your potatoes to some tang that way. I love those s&v potato chips after all.

The rosemary in my garden was planted specifically for my potato recipe needs (The Irish blood in me just loves them!). This recipe is being bookmarked for my next steak dinner. Yum!

Barbara says
I used to love french fries with vinegar when I was a kid. So I knew I was going to love these.
Bob says
I never thought to do crash hots with vinegar, I loved it. This is so how I’m doing them from now on.
Rae says
I made these on Saturday for a party that I hosted. They were an instant hit. I used fingerling potatoes that were different colors. They provided such an unique presentation. Some guests suggested that they could even be an appetizer. They preferred these over calorie laden potato skins. Definitely a keeper recipe. Thanks!
Shelby says
We made this last night and oh my were they delicious! We used fleur de sel instead of kosher salt. So yummy! One of my new fav side dishes!!!
Jill says
Great recipe! My family and I loved it. One question, how do you get the potatoes to stay as one piece? As soon as I “gently mashed” they just broke all over the place. I used small potatoes that looked exactly like your before mashing. They were what I considered fork tender and after then baking for 25 minutes tasted delicious. They just didn’t look quite as pretty!
Ashley says
I have made this type of potatoes several times, but I made them tonight with the cider vinegar. I’m not a fan of salt and vinegar chips, but I decided to try them with it anyway. It has made these by far the most delicious ones to date. I never need to make them another way!
Kevin says
this is great. I actually did a similar recipe but boiled the potatoes first in white vinegar and water 50/50. Then smashed them under a broil with rosemary, rock salt and olive oil. Yum. pretty vinegary but I like that.
Mama B says
Just added this to my “food I want to try” board on Pinterest (minus the rosemary). Thanks for sharing!
