Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- n/a Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a clean glass or a potato masher, gently press each potato to flatten it without breaking it apart completely.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the smashed potatoes. Use a brush or your hands to lightly coat the surface of each potato with oil.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the potatoes.
Lightly spray the seasoned potatoes with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley or serve with your favorite dip.
