Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Sweet paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes under cool water to remove any dirt. You do not need to peel them.

Step 3

Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover them by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle.

Step 5

Transfer the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a flat cup or a potato masher, gently smash each potato to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, black pepper, and salt. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the smashed potatoes.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chopped fresh rosemary evenly over the potatoes to infuse them with flavor while baking.

Step 8

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the fresh parsley and lemon zest over the top just before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, heart-healthy smashed potatoes as a delicious side dish.
