ingredients
- 2 lbs new potatoes, 1-2-inch in diameter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
directions
- Leave potatoes whole. Place in steamer basket over water in a dutch oven. Cover and bring to a boil. Steam over low boil for about 25 minutes, or until just tender.
- Remove potatoes from steamer and let cool. If doing ahead, cover and refrigerate at this point.
- Preheat oven to 425°F
- Put potatoes in large bowl and toss with seasonings and olive oil. transfer to a baking sheet (I use a jelly roll pan). Place a piece of plastic wrap loosely over potatoes. Using a small heavy saucepan, gently smash each potato under the plastic wrap to flatten to about 1/2" thick. Remove plastic wrap and arrange potatoes uniformly in the pan. Scrape any remaining seasoned oil out of the bowl and drizzle over the potatoes. Sprinkle lightly with additional kosher salt.
- Roast in oven for 20-25 minutes. If using parmesan, sprinkle on for last 5 minutes of baking.

I've lived in Seattle for the past 20 years. I'm a scientist who works in the pharmaceutical industry and I cook for fun and relaxation. I read cookbooks like novels and have trouble passing a used bookstore without going in. My current favorite cookbooks are Pam Anderson's How to Cook Without a Book, Jerry Traunfeld's The Herbfarm Cookbook, and Shirley Corriher's Cookwise.
