Crispy Smashed Fingerling Potatoes

Recipe Details

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes

Summary

Buttery fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted until shatteringly crisp outside and fluffy within, then glossed with a garlicky olive oil–butter finish. A simple, crowd-pleasing side or snack with big, savory flavor.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Add 1.5 lbs yellow fingerling potatoes to a pot of heavily salted water; bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and shake well to remove excess water.

  3. 3

    Spread potatoes on an unlined baking sheet. Using the bottom of a cup, smash each potato to about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick.

  4. 4

    Brush both sides with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; season with 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bake for about 25 minutes, until golden-brown.

  5. 5

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons melted butter with 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.

  6. 6

    Brush the tops of the roasted potatoes with the garlic-butter mixture; return to the oven and bake until the edges are crispy, about 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Garnish as desired (fresh herbs, flaky salt, Parmesan, or a favorite sauce) and serve hot.
