These cute little potatoes were the stars on my Father’s Day menu. They were crisp around the edges but also had this soft chewy center which made them extra delicious. Not to mention they were super easy and fun to make! While you would think the prime rib that I put so much time and effort in would be the headliner, nope it was these tiny little potato wonders. I can imagine trying different toppings in the future but this time I kept it simple with salt, pepper and some freshly grated parmesan.

The entire dinner was delicious…we had prime rib, roasted carrots and potatoes, sautéed green beans, and peach cobbler. Rather than put recipes for my entire menu here, I decided to highlight the super star and if you want any of the other recipes just let me know. Needless to say, the hubs felt the love and enjoyed every single morsel! Happy dad mission accomplished!

Recipe

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Boil potatoes in salted water for about 20 minutes or until fork tender

Allow the potatoes to cool for about five minutes for easy handling

Toss potatoes in olive oil on a sheet tray

Use a potato masher or fork to press down gently on the potato until flat. The imperfections and jagged edges created from the smashing is what gives you those crispy edges that are so delicious. So go for it, there is no wrong way to do this.

Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from oven, brush with melted butter, sprinkle with grated parmesan.

Serve and enjoy!
