Equipment

  • Vegetable Brush
  • Large Pot
  • Chef's Knife
  • Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cup or Mug
  • Sauce Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bag petite gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Wash potatoes. Boil in a large pot of salted water for 15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Let potatoes cool for 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 390°F. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice each potato in half (or thirds if they are really big.) Add them to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Using the back of a cup/mug, smash the potatoes.
    You want them to be flat, but try to avoid breaking them apart as much as you can!

  • Bake the smashed potatoes for 35-40 minutes. Potatoes will be crispy and golden brown. Enjoy!
