Ingredients

• 1 lb Baby potatoes
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and fill with water until the potatoes are fully submerged. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 3-5 minutes to release excess moisture.

Step 5

Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Using the bottom of a glass, a potato masher, or a large spoon, gently press down on each potato to flatten it to about 1/2 inch thick. Be careful not to break the potatoes apart completely.

Step 7

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the smashed potatoes, ensuring each one is lightly coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and ground black pepper evenly over the potatoes.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, if using, before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
