Cook Time: 45 min.
Total Time: 1 hr.
Ingredients
- 1-pound organic potato “nibbles” or baby potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 2 teaspoons flaked sea salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon organic garlic powder
- ¼ cup finely chopped organic fresh parsley
Preparation
- Add potatoes to a saucepan and fill with cold water that covers the potatoes by 1-inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 20-25 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Set aside a large sheet pan.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander, then allow to cool slightly until cool enough to handle. Toss the potatoes with one tablespoon of olive oil.
- Using the bottom of a glass or jar, smash each potato onto the sheet tray until ¼-inch thick. Leave just a small amount of space between each potato to ensure they all fit on the pan. Continue until all potatoes are smashed.
- Top the smashed potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, one teaspoon salt, and garlic powder. Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the potatoes are crisp. Remove from oven and finish with fresh parsley.
Cook’s Notes
- Potatoes will keep in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
- Nibbles are an even smaller potato than baby potatoes. They are great for smashed potatoes. If you can only find baby potatoes, you may need to use 2 sheet trays in order for them to fit.
