Boiled. Smashed. Baked. These potatoes go through it all. The result? Delicious. This easy potato recipe goes well with pretty much any dinner and is a budget recipe your whole family will devour.
To make this crunchy smashed potato recipe you only need three ingredients. Here is your shopping list for this gluten-free side dish recipe: small Yukon gold or red potatoes (read about the health benefits of potatoes), olive oil and fresh or dried herbs of your choosing. I love rosemary on my potatoes, but do change it up with other herbs like parsley flakes, oregano, thyme and herbs de provence.
The potatoes are boiled first to cook them through. After being gently smashed on a baking sheet, they take a trip into the oven to crisp up. Mmm!
Serve these crispy baked potatoes as a side dish with dinner. You could even serve them as an appetizer with a creamy dip on the side like ranch or just plain sour cream.

Ingredients
- small Yukon gold or red potatoes
- olive oil
- fresh or dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, herbs de provence, parsley, etc.)
Here's how to make it:
- Wash the potatoes and add them to a pot of boiling water. Cook until tender, about 12 to 15 minutes, depending on their size.
- Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil. Place the potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving some room in between. With a round drinking glass, gently push each potato to smash it. Push gently! You want to smash them but still have the potato as one piece.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper. Sprinkle on your favorite herb(s). (My favorite is fresh chopped rosemary.)
- Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil. Be generous, this helps them crisp up.
- Bake in a preheated 400-degree F oven until they get brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Serve hot. Store any leftovers potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge.
