Garlic-Rosemary Smashed Potatoes

By joanmarie

Ingredients

• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes, cover and steam until just tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Brush the hot baking sheet with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Place the steamed potatoes on the pan, skin-side up, and smash with the bottom of a jar or smooth side of a meat mallet. Drizzle with the garlic oil. Roast until browned on the bottom, about 15 minutes.
