Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby red potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F.
- Place cleaned red potatoes in a pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 10 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Drain the potatoes. Let them cool for about 5 minutes. Using a fork or potato masher, gently press each potato until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the smashed potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush each potato lightly with melted butter mixed with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes.
- Bake the potatoes until they are golden and crispy on the edges, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
- Serve immediately.
