Crispy Smashed Potatoes Ingredients

Method

Instructions for Crispy Smashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Smash the Potatoes

    On a clean surface or the baking sheet, place the boiled potatoes and gently smash each one with the bottom of a glass or a potato masher until flattened but still intact.

  4. 4

    Season and Oil

    Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use a brush or spoon to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
