Description

Deliciously crispy smashed Yukon Gold potatoes seasoned with olive oil, salt, and herbs.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon favorite herbs (rosemary, dill, Parisien; optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Steam or boil the potatoes until tender. (Steaming is my preference.)
  3. Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  4. Drizzle the sheet pan with olive oil.
  5. Place the cooked and dried potatoes on the baking sheet and leave 2 inches between potatoes.
  6. Use a potato masher and press gently but firmly on each potato until flattened.
  7. Drizzle more olive oil over the potatoes.
  8. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Sprinkle with favorite herbs like thyme, rosemary or Parisien.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crispy on the bottom.

Notes

  • These potatoes are best served hot and can be topped with additional herbs or cheese if desired.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
