Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Dried thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the potatoes simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly so they are safe to handle.
Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently smash each potato to flatten them to about 1/2-inch thickness.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over the smashed potatoes, ensuring each one is coated evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy these crispy, flavorful smashed potatoes as a side dish or delicious snack!
