Crispy Rosemary Smashed Potatoes

Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. These smashed potatoes are the pastry of potatoes!

We eat potatoes at least three nights a week. They are filling, they are gluten-free, and vegan too if you use olive oil instead of butter, and most importantly they are delicious.

I make them in dozens of different ways. These are a family favorite. You can add all sorts of toppings, though I like to keep it simple with a little rosemary, salt and pepper.

Added bonus, these are great leftover with eggs the next morning! I just throw them on my griddle to reheat them. Or you can make them fresh for your weekend brunch. They go great with mimosas … and eggs.

Tips for Best Results

Using small new potatoes is the key to success in this recipe. The yellow ones are my favorite as the texture is perfect for this recipe.

Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper. You can also lightly spray, but the potatoes crisp up better on the bottom with parchment.
