Equipment

  • 1 lined, sheet pan
  • 1 small glass cup
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 large pot

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds baby dutch yellow potatoes (Around 4¾ cups)
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Clean your potatoes under cold water, scrubbing well. Pat them dry.
  • Fill a pot halfway with water, add 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are completely cooked. You can check them by placing a fork through the middle of a potato to make sure it goes in easily. Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • While the potatoes are boiling, make the olive oil mixture. Place all of the "sauce" ingredients into a small bowl and whisk.
  • Place the potatoes apart on the lined cookie sheet. Use the bottom of a glass cup and press down on each potato to "smash them". Push them down about halfway.
  • Add a spoonful of the olive oil and garlic mixture over the top of each smashed potato. Use the back of the spoon to spread it evenly over the tops.
  • Place the potatoes in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes. Top with a sprinkle of additional salt. Serve immediately.

Notes

*Potatoes will last in a covered container for 2-3 days. However, I enjoy potatoes immediately after cooking.  
*To reheat, place them in a microwave until heated all the way through.
