Cuisine: American
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
20 small red or fingerling potatoes
Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
2 table spoons of chopped chives
Instructions
In a medium sauce pot, place your potatoes in cool water and place over high heat to partially boil the potatoes. Cook over high heat for 10-15 until you can pierce the potato with a knife. Make sure you don't over cook the potatoes.
Remove potatoes from the heat and drain.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and place your baking sheet with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into the oven to preheat.
Once the oven and pan are up to temperature, remove from the oven and immediately place your potatoes onto the hot pan.
Using a potato masher, gently smash the potatoes.
Drizzle with more olive oil and season generously with salt & pepper.
Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until the potatoes start to crisp.
Remove from oven and garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately.
