Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds small yellow potatoes
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- chives for garnish optional
- sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Wash potatoes and place them in a large pot. Cover with water until there is an inch of water above the potatoes. Add salt and bring to a boil. Boil for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender.
- Drain potatoes and allow them to cool until you can handle them. Brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet and smash each one with the bottom of a measuring cup or glass. Potatoes should be about 1/2 inch thick.
- Allow the smashed potatoes to cool for 5 minutes. Brush each potato with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder and onion powder.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potato skin is crispy. Then, broil for 2-3 minutes until the edges of the potato skin start to turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with black pepper and chives.
- Serve with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Smashed Potatoes are best served immediately. The will soften as they cool.
- For best results, reheat any leftovers in the oven or air fryer.
- We love to eat these with sour cream, ranch, or honey mustard!
