Ingredients
- 12 whole red potatoes
- extra virgin olive oil
- Garlic powder to taste
- Kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional Garnish: freshly chopped chives or browned/crumbled bacon
Instructions
- Fill a large, heavy pot two-thirds full of water. Generously sprinkle table salt into water, and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook just until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Don't overcook them. Remove potatoes and drain.
- Preheat oven to 450F, with rack on upper middle position.
- Cover a large baking pan with foil. Brush foil with plenty of olive oil - be generous, as this prevents sticking.
- When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, gently press down each potato with a until they are about 1/2-inch thin. Lay smashed potatoes on prepared pan. Generously brush tops with olive oil, and don't be shy here!
- Sprinkle tops generously with kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chives/bacon if you are using. Don't be afraid to use enough salt.
- Bake 20-30 minutes, or just until nicely browned and sizzling! Watch carefully so they don't burn. If desired, garnish with cooked/crumbled bacon or chopped chives.
