Herbed Smashed Red Potatoes
Crispy on the bottom, soft on top, lightly sprinkled with delicious herbs and topped off with butter! That’s what made these Herbed Smashed Red Potatoes taste so amazing!
Ingredients
Bring a pot of salted water
to a boil over medium heat.
Add the potatoes and cook until tender
and you can insert a fork into them,
about 15 minutes depending on their size.
Drain potatoes and let cool just
until you can hold them.
Pour a nice coating of olive oil
onto a large baking sheet.
Place the potatoes on the pan keeping
them apart. Roll the potatoes in the
oil on the pan either with your hands or
use a brush, coating the potato with the oil.
Using a fork, press on the center of the
boiled potatoes breaking them open.
Drizzle olive oil over the top. Sprinkle
the herbs evenly over the potatoes.
Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven
for 20 minutes or until they are a
golden brown on the bottom and
the top is slightly brown.
Brush the butter over the potatoes.
Use a spatula and place onto
a serving plate and serve.

These look delicious! I can’t have the spices, but I’m going to try them with only the olive oil. I’ve also cut them in quarters and baked with olive oil. In the past with rosemary. I really need to get some red potatoes and start cooking! Thank you, Diane! 😊

Oh they will still be good! The most flavor came from the crispy bottom. It was like it caramelized and the flavor was superb!

My mom used to also make potato salad with them and if they were “new”, she’d scrub therm well, leave the skins on – made it more colorful looking cold dish.
