Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds whole baby potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • fresh herbs and grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Place baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let steam dry for a few minutes.
  • Place potatoes into a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic powder. Mix well to coat generously.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Arrange potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass or potato masher to gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
  • Roast for 40–45 minutes until deeply golden and crisp around the edges.
  • Sprinkle with fresh herbs or Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
