Garlic Herb Smashed Potatoes
A few very sinple ingredients, but a great way to serve potatoes. These potatoes are crispy and brown with the flavors of garlic and herbs and maybe best of all they're smashed instead of mashed. Also a great dish that the kids can help with - after all, what kid doesn't like to play with their food.
Serve as an appetizer with a side of sour cream and chives or a side to your favorite meat dish. Do most of the work ahead of time and pop them in the oven on a busy night when you need something fast but healthy. I think we could agree that this one beats french fries - hands down!
I used our Garlic and Herb seasoning which provided a delightful garlicky flavor. This garlic potato recipe is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B6 and potassium. It is also very low in sodium and cholesterol and low in saturated fat.
Ingredients:
- 12 to 15 baby red or yellow potatoes (about 1-1/2 oz. each; 1-1/2 to 2 inches in diameter)
- 2 Tablespoons Garlic Herb Seasoning
- 2 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- In a large pot, add potatoes and cover with water (add a pinch of salt - optional)
- Bring water to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer
- Let potatoes cook about 20-25 minutes until easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and cool
- When potatoes are cool enough to handle, place them one at a time on a baking sheet and flatten them with the palm of your hand (kids love this part)
- If you are preparing the potatoes to serve at another time stop here, cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. Bring them to room temperature before proceeding to next step
- Brush the olive oil on the potatoes and turn them to coat the other side.
- Roast the potatoes until they are crispy brown around the edges, about 30 minutes, turning them halfway during time
- Sprinkle the Garlic Herb Seasoning on the potatoes, return them to the oven for a final 5 minutes.
- Serve hot.
