Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly, then place them in a large pot. Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are fully submerged and add a pinch of salt.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.

Step 4

Place the boiled potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out evenly. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato to flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously onto the flattened potatoes, making sure to coat them thoroughly for maximum flavor.

Step 7

Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish with your favorite protein or enjoy as a crispy, savory snack!
