Ingredients

Scale

Baby Potatoes:

  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes (red or Yukon Gold work best)

Seasoning Mixture:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and boil the baby potatoes until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or olive oil.
  3. Smash the Potatoes: Flatten each boiled potato to about ½-inch thick on the baking sheet.
  4. Prepare the Seasoning: Mix olive oil, melted butter, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Brush over each potato and top with Parmesan.
  5. Bake: Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy. Broil for extra crunch if desired.
  6. Serve: Sprinkle with parsley and red pepper flakes. Enjoy hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
