Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 lb baby potato
  • 1 Tablespoon salt for boiling
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt for sprinkling
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • parsley finely chopped, or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large pot of boiling water, cook potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes; drain well.
  3. Place potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a potato masher or fork, carefully smash the potatoes until flattened but still in one piece. Brush with olive oil and melted butter, and sprinkle garlic, salt, ground black pepper, and thyme over each potato.
  4. Place into oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley or chives, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Boil the potatoes in heavily salted water to add flavor right from the start of cooking.
  • Place the potatoes into cold water and bring them up to the boil. If you start them in boiling water they won't cook through evenly.
  • Make sure that your oven is fully pre-heated when you are ready to roast the potatoes to help them get extra crispy.
  • The potatoes should be flatten, but still remain in one piece. A potato masher works best for this method.
