Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams Baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Fresh garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thoroughly wash the baby potatoes to remove any dirt or debris. Leave the skins on for extra texture and nutrition.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the potatoes for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato to slightly flatten them but keep them intact.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over the smashed potatoes.
In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, ground black pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme, and paprika.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes, ensuring an even distribution.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and garnish them with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a snack. Enjoy your delicious low sodium crispy smashed potatoes!
