Preparation

Step 1

You have scaled this recipe's ingredients to yield a new amount (6). The directions below still refer to the original recipe yield (20).
1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Place the potatoes in a large saucepan of water. Cover; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat; gently cook potatoes until tender but still firm, about 20 minutes. Drain.
3. Place potatoes on a greased, rimmed baking sheet. Smash the warm potatoes with the heel of your hand or a small pan to flatten slightly and break the skin.
