Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2
|
Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1". Place the lid on the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, and simmer uncovered until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain well in a colander, then blot dry with a towel.
3
|
Place the potatoes back in the pot and add the olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place the lid on and shake vigorously until the potatoes are completely covered with the olive oil.
4
|
Pour the potatoes out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer and smash them down with a fork. Once smashed, I like to dab some of the remaining oil from the saucepan over the tops of the potatoes.

Roast for 30-45 minutes or until the potatoes are crisp and golden brown. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Potato Boil Precision 💧
    Boil potatoes until just fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes, to ensure they're soft enough to smash but not falling apart.
  • Smashing Technique 👊
    Use the bottom of a flat measuring cup or glass to smash potatoes gently, creating maximum surface area for crispy edges.
  • Oil Temperature Magic 🔥
    Preheat your baking sheet with olive oil to create an instant crispy sear when the smashed potatoes hit the surface.
  • Rosemary Infusion Hack 🌿
    Crush fresh rosemary between your fingers before sprinkling to release more intense essential oils and maximize flavor.
  • Crispy Layer Secret 🥔
    After smashing, let potatoes sit on the hot baking sheet for an extra 2-3 minutes before flipping to develop a golden, crunchy exterior.
