Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb. Potatoes Small baby potatoes, such as a fingerling or new potato.
  • Oil I used avocado oil, any oil will do.
  • Salt and Pepper To taste.
  • Rosemary To taste, optional.
  • Onion Powder To taste, optional.

Instructions
 

  • Wash and scrub the little potatoes, cutting off any bad spots.
  • Place the potatoes in a large pot of water and cook until a fork can be easily inserted.
  • Drain the potatoes and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the cooked potatoes onto the lined baking sheet, press each potato with the bottom of a glass.
  • Make sure not to press the potatoes to thin, you want the potatoes to stay together.
  • Once all the potatoes are smashed, drizzle oil over them and sprinkle the potatoes with your seasoning of choice.
  • Place the full baking sheet into the oven.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, remove from the oven to flip the potatoes.
  • Return to the oven for another 10 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and serve while hot.

How to serve these potatoes

  • Serve these along side ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, or a vegan mayo.
  • Add a aioli on the side for dipping. Try a few of my different aioli recipes, such as Homemade Lemon Dill Aioli, Homemade Sriracha Aioli, or the Sun Dried Tomato Basil Aioli.
  • Dip these little treats into my Red Pepper Hummus or A Creamy Vegan Cashew Cheese.
  • Or just eat them as is.
