Notes
Make sure to not boil your potatoes for too long, otherwise they may not hold their shape.
Ingredients
- 12 baby potatoes
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup olive oil
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp paprika
1/2 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cajun seasoning
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Add potatoes, water, salt, and baking soda to a deep pot and turn the heat on high.
- Boil potatoes for 15 minutes, or until they are just fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are boiling, add olive oil and seasonings to a large bowl.
- After boiling, carefully toss cooked potatoes in seasoned oil until they are fully coated.
- If they are firm enough to be picked up, dip the potato disks back into the remaining seasoned oil. If they are too soft to pick up, brush the remaining oil onto the tops of the potatoes using a silicone brush then repeat this process once they have been flipped.
- Place the smashed potatoes back onto the baking sheet, sprinkle with a generous serving of salt, and place in the oven.
- After 30 minutes in the oven, flip the potatoes and roast for an additional 30 to ensure an evenly cooked result.
- Remove from the oven and let cool before enjoying dipped in your favorite sauce or with whatever toppings you desire.
