Ingredients

  • 3 lb Yellow Baby Potatoes
  • 1/4 cup kosher salt, plus 1 teaspoon for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp fresh herbs (dill, rosemary, parsley), for garnish
  • lemon, for garnish

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Rinse the potatoes, cover them with cold water in a 5-quart pot, add the 1/4 cup of kosher salt and simmer over medium-high heat for 15 to 20 minutes until fork-tender, then drain.
  3. Drizzle half the olive oil over a nonstick baking sheet, set the potatoes on it with room between them, and smash each one flat to about 1/2 inch thick with the base of a pan; drizzle over the remaining oil and season with the teaspoon of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
  4. Roast on the center rack for 30 to 45 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp at the edges.
  5. Scatter the fresh herbs over the potatoes, add the lemon for squeezing over, and serve straight from the pan.
