Cookhacker's Smashed Baby Red Potatoes

Cookhacker.com

• 10-15 baby red potatoes (depending on size...the smaller the better)
• 1-2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Sour Cream (optional)
• Green Onions, sliced thin (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
2. Drop the potatoes into a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for about 10-15 minutes (depending on size) until fork tender.
3. Place the hot potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet drizzled with olive oil and gently smash each potato with a potato masher or fork.
4. Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper (at this point, you could also sprinkle on your favorite herb or spice...I've used a little cayenne here for spicy potatoes)
5. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.
6. They are delicious just the way they are, but if topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of green onions, they're amazing!
