Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Small new potatoes
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Place them in a large pot and cover them with water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes well and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the potatoes with space between them. Use the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to gently press each potato down until it is about 1/2 inch thick, being careful not to break them apart.
Lightly spray the tops of the smashed potatoes with olive oil spray.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the potatoes.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat crispy smashed potatoes!
