Ingredients

• 12 small potatoes
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Marrakech spice or your favorite seasoning blend
• sea salt
• chopped parsley, for garnish

Here's how to make it: 

1. Boil the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes until tender. Drain the potatoes and allow the steam to soak up all the moisture. The more dry the potatoes are, the crispier they will be.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, garlic and Marrakech spice blend.
3. On a baking sheet, line up the potatoes, giving them some space to expand and smash each one with a fork, bottom of a cup or a potato smasher. Then, brush on the buttery marinade. Sprinkle with sea salt, to taste.
4. Bake about 45 minutes in a 400-degree F oven. Garnish with parsley. 

Note: The Marrakech spice blend is a combination of coriander, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, black pepper, ginger, cardamom, cloves and cayenne. If you don't have this spice blend, use your favorite seasoning blend.
