1 pound small potatoes (either small new potatoes or fingerlings)
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Instructions
Cook the potatoes until fork tender (in the oven, microwave, or by boiling them). Spread a thin layer of olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet, then place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Using a meat mallet or the back of a spatula, press the potatoes down so that the skin bursts and they are about a half inch thick. Drizzle liberally with olive oil, then season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Bake at 400 degrees until the edges are crispy and brown, about 15 minutes.
