Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds small potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Wash and scrub the small potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added texture.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes. Transfer them to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using the back of a flat spatula or a fork, gently press down on each potato to 'smash' them until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, making sure each potato is well coated.
Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with the garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary and sprinkle it over the potatoes for added fragrance and taste.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Finish them off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy these crispy delicious Paleo smashed potatoes as a perfect side dish.
