Crushed New Potatoes

 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (450 g) baby potatoes
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
• 1 clove garlic crushed
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley or basil
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt

Preparation:

1. Boil slightly salted water, then throw your baby potatoes into the pot. Leave them to cook for 15-20 minutes or until they're cooked through and soft.

2. Grease your baking tray with olive oil, and get the potatoes out of the pot and onto the baking tray.

3. Lightly crush the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher, but make sure not to overdo it as you don't want really flat pieces of potato all over your baking sheet.

4. Using the excess olive oil on the baking tray, lightly brush the potatoes with the olive oil.

5. Season with freshly ground black pepper, and sea salt.

6. Sprinkle with either dried or fresh herbs and garlic.

7. Bake in the oven for 10-15 more minutes at 200°C (390°F). The baking time depends on the size of your potatoes, so keep checking on them as they bake.

8. Served Immediately.
