Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes
- 2 tbsps olive oil for brushing
- garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash your potatoes well. Set them in a large pot, add just enough water to cover them, and boil until easily pierced with a fork (about 15 to 20 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Transfer them to an oiled sheet pan, leaving a bit of room in between each potato since they will expand when smashed.
- Using the bottom of a glass or a mason jar, carefully press down on each potato to smash them into thin, scraggly disks.
- Brush each smashed potato with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper (or seasonings of your choice).
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, flipping once halfway through. Baking time will vary a bit based on the size of your potatoes. Keep an eye on them and remove from the oven when they’re crispy and delicious.
- Sprinkle with salt and enjoy!
