Ingredients
- 1 lb. baby potatoes (~15-20 small Yukon and/or red potatoes)
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. dried basil
- 3 tsp. salt

For the Aioli
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup cilantro, fresh

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil and add in 2 tsp. salt. Cook potatoes until soft and fork tender, about 15-20 minutes depending on size. Drain and cool for 5 minutes.
- While the potatoes cook, make the aioli. In a food processor, process all ingredients together until smooth. Place in a bowl and set in fridge until potatoes are done.

- Spread 1 Tbsp. of the olive oil on a baking sheet. Then set the potatoes on the baking sheet, about 2-3 inches apart.
- Smash potatoes down with a large fork or bottom of flat bottomed cup/mason jar. Try to keep the potatoes in one piece. Let cool again for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle with the rest of the olive oil and sprinkle seasonings on top. Bake for 20 minutes or until crispy.
