Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 3 tablespoons vinegar white wine or apple cider
  • 1/4 cup red onion finely diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Wash and boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, gently smash each potato with a fork or your palm until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, vinegar, and red onion.
  • Drizzle the dressing over the smashed potatoes, ensuring each one is generously coated.
  • Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately toss in fresh dill and parsley, adjusting seasoning if needed.
  • Serve warm or let it cool to room temperature; it’s great either way!

Notes

For best results, enjoy fresh within a day. If serving cold, prepare in the morning to let the flavors meld before serving.
