Ingredients

  • 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil plus more for greasing the glass

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 415°F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, until just tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the potatoes on a greased baking sheet. Grease the bottom of a glass or flat-bottomed cup with a little olive oil and smash each potato down firmly. They don't need to be perfect.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure the potatoes are dry before tossing them with oil and spices.
  • If they aren't crispy enough, bake them for another 5 minutes or option to broil them (just keep an eye on them).
  • We love dipping ours in a simple mayo+ketchup combo!
