Smashed Roast Potatoes

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking tray with foil, then baking paper. In a small pot over high heat, cover potatoes with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 mins until just tender.
2. 2
   Transfer potatoes to a double layer of paper towel and drain for 1-2 mins. Using folded paper towel in palm of hand, gently press down on potatoes to flatten slightly without breaking apart. Carefully transfer to prepared tray.
3. 3
   Season potatoes with salt and drizzle with olive oil, making sure a little oil runs underneath potatoes to coat well on all sides. Bake potatoes for 30-40 mins until crispy around edges. Use a spatula or tongs to gently turn once halfway through cooking time. Serve immediately.
