Smashed Crispy Potatoes
These make a great side dish and only require a few simple ingredients. They're everything you want potatoes to be-- crispy on the outside, fluffy inside and perfectly seasoned!
Servings 3
Ingredients
- 6 Small gold potatoes (or other small round potato, but the golden are best)
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil or more as needed
- Kosher Salt to taste
- Ground Black Pepper to taste
- 1- 2 tbsp Herbs, fresh, chopped or 1-2 tsp dried mixed herbs Rosemary, Thyme, Basil, Chives & Oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add in the potatoes. Reduce to a slow boil/simmer and cook until fork-tender or about 15-20 minutes.
- On a silicone or foil-lined sheet pan, drizzle olive oil to coat. Remove potatoes from water and place on the sheet pan, leaving a few inches between potatoes.
- With a potato masher, press down on each potato until they are slightly smushed, rotating the masher once.
- Drizzle the tops with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until tops are crispy and golden brown. Enjoy!
Notes
Use fresh herbs if you can, but dried will work as well. Toss on the herbs you like best!
