Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs potato scrubbed well, small, yellow or red
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- salt for seasoning potatoes, Kosher salt
- black pepper for seasoning potatoes, Kosher salt
- Parmesan Cheese optional toppings, freshly grated parmesan cheese
- chives optional toppings, freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Add potatoes to a large pot and cover with water. Season generously with salt (about 1 tablespoon) and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium heat and cook uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Larger potatoes might take a little longer. Drain the potatoes and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush a large baking sheet evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place potatoes on the greased baking sheet. Use the bottom of a jar or glass, a fork, or a potato masher to gently press down on the potatoes until they are smashed, but still in one piece. You want them to hold together, the potatoes should be about 1/2-inch thick.
- Drizzle or brush the potatoes evenly with olive oil and melted butter. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy. You don’t need to flip the potatoes. Serve warm with Parmesan cheese and chives, if desired.
