🧾 The Ingredients:

Here is the list of ingredients you will need to make these crispy potatoes:

• Golden baby potatoes: Creamy and tender, these small golden potatoes offer the best flavor and texture.
• Olive Oil: Used to roast the potatoes and creates a golden, crispy edge. You can also add some dairy free butter on top when they are done cooking for more flavor!
• Salt/Pepper: simple, essential seasonings to enhance the flavor of the potatoes.

Step By Step Preparation Instructions:

• Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400. First, add the potatoes to a large pot of water and boil until fork tender. You don't want them to be overly soft.
• Step 2: Now, add the softened potatoes to a large sheet pan. Using the bottom of a glass or measuring cup, smash the potatoes gently. You want them to maintain their shape slightly, so don't over smash them into mashed potatoes.
• Step 3: Drizzle olive oil over them, and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Step 4: Bake for 20 minutes, then flip, oil and salt/pepper them again and place back in the oven to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes until crispy and golden all over.
• Step 5: Now, enjoy them as is or add them as your favorite potato salad base, like this dairy free ranch potato salad.
