Smashed Roast Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 None baby potatoes
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F. Line a large baking tray with foil, then baking paper. In a small pot over high heat, cover potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 mins until just tender.
Transfer potatoes to a double layer of paper towel and drain for 1-2 mins. Using folded paper towel in palm of hand, gently press down on potatoes to flatten slightly without breaking apart. Carefully transfer to prepared tray.
Season potatoes with salt and drizzle with olive oil, making sure a little oil runs underneath potatoes to coat well on all sides. Bake potatoes for 30-40 mins until crispy around edges. Use a spatula or tongs to gently turn once halfway through cooking time. Serve immediately.
