Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds small to medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or baby potatoes recommended)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then place them in a large pot and cover with water. Add a generous pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
- Cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.
- Once cool enough to handle, place the potatoes on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Using a potato masher or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
- Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh herbs. Serve warm.
