Ingredients
- 35 oz small potatoes washed; approx. 1 kg (2.2 lb)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
To serve
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley leaves chopped; for garnish
- ¼ cup sriracha mayo for serving; approx. 60 ml (55 g)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 °F.
- Prick the potatoes all over with a fork. In a large pot, cover with salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until a knife slides in easily, about 20 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently press each potato until it’s about 1 inch thick.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, making sure each potato is evenly coated.
- Bake on the middle rack for 30 minutes. Check for golden edges, then continue baking in 5–10 minute increments until super crispy and deep golden brown (total bake time about 40–50 minutes).
- Remove from oven, transfer to a serving platter, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately with sriracha mayo.
