Ingredients
- 1 ½ to 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon table salt (to add to the water)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill, parsley, chives, rosemary)
- Flaky sea salt
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water and boil for 20 minutes until fork tender. Drain potatoes for 5 minutes until dry.
- Brush the surface area of a large baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Transfer potatoes to the baking sheet.
- Gently smash the potatoes open by pressing the bottom of a glass or a potato masher down onto them.
- Drizzle or use a pastry brush to coat the potatoes with the remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes until crispy. Adjust the cooking time according to the size of your potatoes; larger potatoes will need more time than smaller potatoes. Remove from the oven and add a sprinkle of fresh herbs and grated parmesan cheese to each of the hot potatoes before serving.
