Smashed Roasted Baby Potatoes


  • 1 1/2 pounds Baby Yukon gold potatoes, boiled
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly cracked pepper

  1. Add potatoes to a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Cook 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a knife.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425-F.
  3. Drain potatoes and place on a baking sheet. Using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a cup, lightly press each potato so they flatten and crack open (be careful not to push too hard or they may fall apart).
  4. Liberally brush the top of the potatoes with oil or butter. Carefully flip and brush the other side. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake the potatoes for 25 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through cooking time.
  6. Top with chopped chives or parsley.
