Step 1

Wash your Baby Potatoes (15) .

Step 2

Place them in a pot of cold water. Make sure they're covered by at least an inch of water.

Step 3

Bring them to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are just fork tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a coriander, and place it on top of the hot pot you just used to cook the potatoes, to dry them out slightly.

Step 5

While they're still warm, gently squish the potatoes, one at a time with the palm of your hand. Avoid over-squishing them, or they will completely fall apart.

Step 6

You want them to burst from their skins, but still stay in tact.

Step 7

In a large pan, heat Olive Oil (2 Tbsp) , and add the potatoes in one layer. Cook on one side until brown and crispy. Flip, and brown on the other side. Add more oil if necessary.

Step 8

Season the potatoes generously with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) while the potatoes are still hot.

Step 9

Add any optional seasonings of your choice, such as zest of a Lemons (to taste) , Garlic Powder (to taste) or Fresh Herbs (to taste) such as parsley, chives, rosemary, or minced scallion.
