These Crispy Lemon Smashed Potatoes are so easy, tangy, and oh so crispy! You can use as many potatoes as you want depending on how many people you are feeding, though you might want to double up, they don't last long!

Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 40 mins

Ingredients

baby potatoes (amount of your choice)

olive oil

salt & pepper, to taste

juice of a lemon

fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions

1Par-boil any type of small potatoes with their skins on for about 15 - 20 minutes in heavily salted water. Once cooked, drain the potatoes.

2Toss the drained potatoes in olive oil, then take the bottom of a water glass and gently, but firmly press down on the cooked potatoes to smash them.

3Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 450°F for about 20 minutes until they are very crispy, flipping them halfway through so that both sides get a nice, golden-brown color.

4Squeeze lemon juice over the potatoes, finish them off with some more salt, and parsley.
