Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and leave them in the colander for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 450℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle some olive oil over it.
  3. Place cooked potatoes on the baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between each potato. You might need two baking sheets, if you don't have a large one, but it depends on how many potatoes you cook.
  4. Using a potato masher or fork, gently press down on each potato until it slightly mashes and flattens. Rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and press down again. Brush the tops of each potato generously with more olive oil.
  5. Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary.
  6. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • Choosing Potatoes: Baby red potatoes are recommended for this recipe due to their soft skin and creamy interior. However, other small potato varieties such as baby Yukon gold can also be used.
  • Herbs: While rosemary is the star here, you can experiment with other herbs like thyme or sage for a different flavor profile.
  • Storing: These smashed potatoes are best enjoyed right out of the oven but if you do have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat them in the oven or in a skillet to retain their crispiness.
  • Serving Ideas: These potatoes pair well with a wide range of proteins, making them a versatile side. Consider serving them with grilled chicken, steak, or even a simple salad for a balanced meal.
