Ingredients

• 1 pound Baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0 n/a Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a clean glass or a potato masher, gently press each potato to flatten it without breaking it apart completely.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the smashed potatoes. Use a brush or your hands to lightly coat the surface of each potato with oil.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix evenly over the potatoes.

Step 6

Lightly spray the seasoned potatoes with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with additional parsley or serve with your favorite dip.
