Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs baby golden potatoes or your favorite little potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2-3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped Italian Parsley optional
Instructions
- reheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- The first step is rinsing the potatoes under cold water to get rid of any dirt or particles.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl
- Add olive oil to the potatoes and season with salt and black pepper.
- Toss the potatoes to coat in oil and seasonings.
- Place the potatoes on a foil-lined (or parchment lined) sheet pan. Don't crowd them.
- Place the sheet pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until tender.
- While the potatoes are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan, and add the seasonings.
- Using a potato masher, heavy spoon or spatula, or coffee mug, lightly smash down on the potato. Some will smash really well and others will just bulge out a bit.
- Brush the potatoes liberally with seasoned butter.
- Place back into the oven and continue to bake for 10 minutes.*If you want really crispy potatoes, let them bake for 20 minutes.
Notes
*Feel free to add a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese or your favorite fresh herbs to the potatoes before the second baking.
