Ingredients
- 1½ pounds baby yellow potatoes (675g)
- 1½ teaspoons salt divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the potatoes and 1 teaspoon salt. Add enough water to the pot to cover the potatoes by 1 inch.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until the potatoes are just fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and let cool while the oven preheats.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, smash the potatoes to a ¼-inch thickness. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over potatoes and sprinkle with the garlic powder, pepper, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and the edges are crispy. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with dill before serving.
Notes
- Use a large baking sheet! You want enough space between the smashed potatoes so the hot air can fully circulate around them. This ensures your potatoes are crispy. If you do not have a large enough sheet pan, use two or bake them in batches.
- Don’t have a measuring cup or glass to smash the potatoes? Try using a heavy-bottomed pot or even another sheet pan to press down on the potatoes.
- Not a fan of dill? Use your favorite fresh herbs such as chives, cilantro, parsley, basil, thyme, or rosemary.
- Try to use potatoes that are similar in size, so they cook evenly.
- Keep an eye on the potatoes as they boil. If you over-boil them, they’ll fall apart as you try to smash them.
- Make sure the oven is fully heated before putting the potatoes in the oven. If the oven is not hot enough, it will take too long for the outside to brown, and the inside will get mushy.
