Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt.

2

Boil the Potatoes

Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

3

Preheat the Oven

While the potatoes are boiling, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

4

Drain and Smash

Drain the boiled potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a potato masher or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until they are about ½ inch thick.

5

Season the Potatoes

Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Use a brush or spoon to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

6

Bake

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

7

Garnish and Serve

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