Red Potatoes: Smashed Baby Reds

Shared with me by: Kathy H-K (friend and former co-worker)

Ingredients

  • 12-15 baby red potatoes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil (or garlic flavored olive oil)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced (optional)
  • 1 Tbls. dried dill or parsley (optional)

Instructions

Place potatoes in pan and boil until tender (about 30-35 minutes) and drain.

On a clean flat surface, or prep mat, using several layers of sturdy paper towel, gently press down on each potato with palm of hand to flatten to about 1/2" thickness.

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place potatoes on baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Sprinkle potatoes with salt, herbs and onion slices if desired; drizzle with olive oil. (Lift potatoes so some of the olive oil goes underneath).

Roast until crispy and deep brown, about 30 minutes.
