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.
