Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Walnut oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Add the baby potatoes to the boiling water and cook for 15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Place the boiled potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, black pepper, and an additional pinch of salt.
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Top the crispy potatoes with the chopped Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the walnut oil evenly over the potatoes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
