Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds small-to-medium potatoes red or yellow will work
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil divided

Seasoning:

  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Garnish:

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion

Instructions

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes. Remove and discard any nubby sprouting areas. Add them to a large pot and fill with water until the potatoes are covered by 1 inch of water.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the potatoes are easily pierced through by a fork, about 20 – 25 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Brush a large, rimmed baking sheet evenly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • When the potatoes are done, drain them using a large colander and let them cool for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Evenly arrange the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet and use a potato masher or a fork to gently smash each potato to a height of about ½ inch, the thinner the better.
  • Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the smashed potatoes.
  • Mix seasoning ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle the seasoning over the potatoes.
  • Bake until the potatoes are golden on the edges and crispy, about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs and serve hot.
