Ingredients

30-40 minutes
3-4 people
  1. 1 1/2 poundssmall creamer potatoes
  2. 1 tbspbaking soda or 3 tbsps of baking powder
  3. Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. 1/3 cupextra-virgin olive oil
  5. 5 clovesgarlic, skins on, smashed
  6. Leavesfrom 5 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)
  7. Leavesfrom 1 sprig fresh rosemary (optional)
  8. 2 tbspssesame seeds and Sprinkle of dried parsley (optional)

Cooking Instructions

30-40 minutes
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.

  3. 3

    Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)

  4. 4

    Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.
