Crispy Smashed Potatoes
Boiled baby potatoes smashed and roasted until golden and crisp with garlic, olive oil and fresh herbs.

Crispy Smashed Potatoes combine the fluffy center of boiled potatoes with the irresistible crunch of roasted edges. Baby potatoes are cooked until tender, gently flattened and then roasted with olive oil, garlic and herbs until deeply golden. They make an excellent side dish for almost any meal and are also delicious served as a snack with a creamy dip. Allowing the potatoes to steam-dry after boiling helps remove surface moisture, which encourages better browning in the oven.
