Description
Crispy smashed fingerling potatoes seasoned and baked until golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb fingerling potatoes
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Place the fingerling potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold, salted water.
- Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes well and let them cool slightly until you can handle them.
- Place the boiled potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Use the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to gently smash each potato until it is flattened but still mostly intact.
- Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the potatoes.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil them for the last 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- You can substitute dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for the garlic powder if you prefer.
