Ingredients
- 12 whole New Potatoes (or Other Small Round Potatoes)
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt To Taste
- Black Pepper To Taste
- Rosemary (or Other Herbs Of Choice) To Taste
- Garlic or Garlic Oil?
Preparation
Step 1
Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make, and cook them until they’re fork-tender. And yes, I realize my pot is a little full, but listen: my boys filled my large dutch oven with a combination of dog food, potting soil, and gravel yesterday, and then they placed it on top of our garage. I have to learn to make do around here.
When the potatoes are tender, place them on the cookie sheet…

On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.

Oh these look delicious. I would probably add garlic as well as the herb.
Weird…I made these last night with Yukon Golds from a recipe on Serious Eats last week….I almost didn’t eat my steak, they were so good! A big plus is the boiling can be done ahead a little bit, and they only get better the longer they roast, so “timing” your dinner is pretty easy!
The only thing I would add is CHEESE (it makes the world go ’round)!
Wow, I’m one of the first commenters??!! These look absolutely delicious! We love potatoes, and I will definitely make these!
I have YET to make anything from your site that didn’t turn out well!! I can’t wait to try these!
I’d add a bit of chopped onion and some crumbled bacon.
I think I might make them for dinner tonight…that is if my pregnancy tastebuds don’t go crazy and only allow me to eat yogurt…
ok, if it weren’t going to be in the 80s again today I would do this, hey I MAY just boil ‘em and stick them on the grill tonight and see how that works! yummmy thanks PW…and I am definately adding garlic (thaks Lisa)
Ohmigoodness. Must make these tonight. Or now. Maybe now.
These look great! Definitely on the menu for this week. I make something similar, but these are different enough that the family will be tricked into thinking I have some new recipes up my sleeve. : )
I love recipe’s that I can make for the whole family.
Those look fantastic! I will make them for dinner tonight! Thanks for the post and the side for tonight.
holy moly my husband would LOVE LOVE LOVE those!!! Gotta make em!!
I sent you a recipe for my favorite chili ever. Use some of that left over steak in it, if you have any left over that is. The flavor combo of chili, cumin, coriander, and cilantro make it out of this world! And then when you combine it with tender chunks of smokey flavored beef. Well….you know.
Being from Idaho you would think I know every way possible to cook potatoes. This recipe looks so good. I will probably make them tonight. Thank you ever so much for posting such wonderful recipes!!!
Wow – simple and looks wonderful…and the ideas for garlic and cheese sound like good variations..
Mmmmm, looks like you’ve managed to find a recipe that combines my favorite things, potatoes, easy & delicious! I’m trying that one TONIGHT!!
I make these all the time! I found them on egullet.com some time ago, under the name “smashed potatoes”. That’s what we call them, and I use the bottom of a glass for the smashing. Works just fine, as you suspected.

I spent two months in Australia back in the early 90’s and no one fixed these for me! I feel cheated! I guess I’ll just have to make them myself.
hm. Those do look yummy..and that fact that they get a bit crispy makes them even more tempting! I’ll be making these.
I have another asian flavored salad recipe, I’ll have to add it someday as a comment.
I’m drooling at work right now. it doesn’t help that it’s 10 minutes to lunch time… will make these tonight!!!
Bless the Awsom Aussies!! Not only for #1 punk but now for these little bundles of joy!! Ree,you make my day : )
Wow! These look yummy! Thanks, Lisa for the garlic suggestion, I’ll add it with the rosemary. Just a little advise, if you will. If you have really good cooking pots, bring the water to a boil before you add the salt to the pot. Adding it to cold water allows the salt to sink to the bottom and could possibly pit the interior surface of stainless steel pans. This advise is actually from the AllClad company. After spending heaps of money on cookware, it’s nice to keep them pretty.
Those sound sooooo good! And easy enough for even me to make! :0)
What I love about these recipes you share… after reading the post for something easy like this… i can whip up some crashed potatoes in a snap. The pictures make me feel like I’ve all ready made them! Thanks.
Gonna make these tonight and the wonderful apple dumpling recipe you provided a while back. Thanks a lot. Bye-bye, diet.
Saturday, June 20: Chuck and Crew! My father-in-law and his crew of fearless fence-builders have been working hard, so I take them a big lunch so they won't have to stop and run to town for food. (Coincidentally, Ladd and Josh get wind of the food and crash the party!) See you this Saturday morning.
You've got to make these sweet little Strawberry Mini-Muffins with a tangy Strawberry Butter Spread. Perfect for breakfast or a snack throughout the day. Find the recipe on

I love writing cookbooks, and I pour my heart and soul into each and every one! They're full of my very favorite recipes, photos of life on the ranch, and lots and lots of love.
