Crispy Smashed Potatoes

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450F.

Step 2

Rinse the potatoes well and scrub if needed.

Step 3

Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and add 2 tbsp salt.

Step 4

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 10-15 minutes until fork tender.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes and let sit for 2 minutes to dry. Then smash with a glass or measuring cup.

Step 6

Add 1/4 cup oil to a sheet pan and place the potatoes on top, rubbing them around briefly to make sure the bottom is well coated in oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Drizzle the remaining 2 tbsp oil on top, then roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until crispy on the bottom and edges. Serve and enjoy!
