• 2 * 2 pounds new potatoesnew potatoes
• * Salt and pepperSalt and pepper
• * Olive oilOlive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1. Scrub the potatoes and cook, unpeeled, in boiling salted water until tender. Drain. When cool enough to touch, squish them flat using a coffee cup or ramekin. Don't let them explode, just flatten until the edges break a bit, but they are still in one piece. Toss in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until crisp outside and soft inside, about 40 minutes.
