This traditional Portuguese smashed potato dish, batatas a murro, is simply roasted potatoes that are crisp-skinned and soul-achingly tender smothered with caramelized onions and melted cheese. Although actually, there’s nothing simple about it. At least not the taste. Typically served as a side, but we won’t judge if you indulge in an entire plateful, preferably accompanied by a glass of wine.–Nuno Mendes
