Ingredients

  • 12-18 Small Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Melted Butter
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste

Instructions

  • Clean potatoes and remove any eyes or dark spots. Boil with jackets on until soft when pierced (about 20 minutes)
  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them dry in the colander for 5-10 minutes.
  • Placed boiled potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and smash with a fork or masher. Keep the potatoes intact, but smashing thinly results in a crunchier potato.
  • Drizzle or brush with butter, then olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until deeply golden. Do not flip.
