Ingredients
For boiling potatoes
- 3 pounds (1.3kg) Yukon gold potatoes small to medium-sized, see notes below
- 1 tablespoon salt
Remaining ingredients
- 1/3 cup (80ml) olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Diamond Crystal kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon minced rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup minced flat-leaf Italian parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and set the rack on the middle level.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Once boiling, add the potatoes. Let the pot come back to a boil then lower the heat and simmer the potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them sit in the colander for 5 minutes. Spread the potatoes out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Using a potato masher or large fork smash the potatoes to about a 1/2" thick.
- Drizzle the olive oil on all of the potatoes then sprinkle the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and add a bit of lemon zest and a touch more olive oil to each potato. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Sprinkle the parsley on top and serve. Enjoy!

Notes
- Makes 6 larger servings or 8-10 moderated-sized servings.
- Any type of potato can be used but Yukon Golds are recommended since they will hold their shape a better after smashing.
- Use small to medium-sized potatoes. If using larger, they may need to be cut in half or quarters prior to boiling.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven at 350f until warm.
