Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound small potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or herbs for seasoning
Instructions

- Place the cooled potatoes on a baking sheet and gently smash each potato with a fork or potato masher.

- Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve hot, straight from the oven.
Notes
Allow potatoes to cool slightly before smashing to prevent them from breaking apart. Serve with a variety of dipping sauces or alongside grilled meats.
