Smashed Oven Roasted Potatoes
Easy, delicious, and flavorful oven roasted potatoes.
Ingredients
- 9 baby medley potatoes
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (I used Trader Joe's garlic olive oil)
- 2 tbsp dipping sauce of choice (I like ketchup, hummus, or mashed avocado)
- 1 tbsp herb of choice (chives or cilantro will work) (optional, for garnish)
- a few dashes paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Poke some holes in each baby potato with a fork.
- Place the potatoes in a single layer on a lined or greased baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil on top of the potatoes.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake the potatoes for 15 minutes.
- Pull the potatoes out of the oven and cut each one in half. Be careful as the potatoes and pan will be extremely hot! I left my oven mitt on to hold each potato with while I cut it in half.
- Place the potato halves face up on the baking sheet.
- Pop the potatoes back into the oven to bake for another 5 - 10 minutes, or until they are nice and soft on the inside.
- Let the potatoes cool for a bit, then flip them over so they are face down on the baking sheet.
- Smash the top of each potato down with a fork.
- Plate the smashed potatoes.
- Garnish the potatoes with paprika and your herb of choice.
- Dig in and enjoy with whichever dipping sauce you'd like.
