Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs of Baby Potatoes
1/4 cup of Olive Oil
1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon of Salt
1/2 teaspoon of Pepper
1 tablespoon of Fresh Herbs (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water to infuse flavor and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
As the potatoes cook, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). A hot oven is essential for achieving that ultra-crispy texture.
Once the potatoes are done cooking, drain them in a colander and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact, aiming for about 1 inch in thickness.
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add fresh herbs if desired.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
