• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 lbs new potatoes
• salt and pepper
• olive oil

Directions:

1. Scrub the potatoes and cook, unpeeled, in boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
2. When cool enough to touch, squish them flat using a coffee cup or ramekin. Don't let them explode, just flatten until the edges break a bit, but they are still in one piece. Toss in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the oven to 400°F Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until crisp outside and soft inside, about 40 minutes.

Delicious! Nice and crispy on the outside, and sweet and tender on the inside. This is a great new way to eat baby potatoes....wish I'd had this recipe a few months again when they were plentiful from the garden! Perfection.
