Ingredients:

• 1 pound baby red skin potatoes

• 1 pinch kosher salt, plus additional, to taste, divided
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons finely minced Italian parsley
• ground black pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 F.

Add potatoes to stock pot. Cover with cold water by about 1 inch and add 1 pinch salt. Over high heat, boil 8-10 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and completely cool with running cold water.

Once cool, carefully crush potatoes with palms until skin breaks and potatoes are slightly crushed.

In medium bowl, whisk olive oil, garlic and parsley.

Place crushed potatoes on aluminum foil-lined baking sheet and toss lightly with olive oil mixture. Season potatoes on both sides with kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste. Roast potatoes until crisped and golden brown, 15-17 minutes.
