Instructions
- Boil potatoes: Wash them well and place them into a pot. Cover them with cold water, bring to a boil, and cook them for 10-15 minutes or until fork tender. The exact cooking time depends on their size; check if they are cooked through before draining them.2 lbs fingerling potatoes / 1 kg
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Drain the potatoes well and leave them to stand in the colander for about 5 minutes so that most of the water on their surface will evaporate.
- Mixture: Mix olive oil, minced garlic, and finely chopped rosemary in a small bowl.3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + 4 garlic cloves + 3 small sprigs fresh rosemary
- Smash fingerling potatoes: Grease the baking sheet with the extra olive oil. Place the potatoes on it and crush them carefully and only lightly with a fork; they should not be pressed flat but still have plenty of ridges after you've crushed them.
- Drizzle the garlic mixture on each potato. Use about ½ teaspoon per potato, ensuring each one gets enough. If there's any leftover mixture, go over the potatoes again to evenly distribute it among them.
- Bake: Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy. Increase the baking time slightly if the potatoes are not crisp enough after 20 minutes.coarse sea salt + ground black pepper
- Remove them from the oven, sprinkle again with some coarse salt and pepper, and serve them immediately.
Notes
- The potatoes I used weighed about 0.7 oz/ 20 g a potato and were no bigger than 1½ -2 inches/ 3 - 5 cm in diameter. They can be slightly larger, of course, but not too much. Petite Gold and small-sized red potatoes are also suitable.
- Oil or butter: Use 3-4 tablespoons of melted butter instead of olive oil.
- Herbs: Use about 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead of fresh - or other herbs.
