Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Small new potatoes
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Place them in a large pot and cover them with water.
Step 3
Bring the pot 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 well and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the potatoes with space between them. Use the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to gently press each potato down until it is about 1/2 inch thick, being careful not to break them apart.
Step 6
Lightly spray the tops of the smashed potatoes with olive oil spray.
Step 7
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the potatoes.
Step 8
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with the fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat crispy smashed potatoes!
