Instructions

  1. Add potatoes to a large pot and fill with water till the potatoes are covered and water is about 1/2 above the potatoes. Place this on a medium-high burner and allow to boil.

  4. Once all the potatoes are smashed, drizzle them with oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bake the potatoes for  20-25 minutes until crispy and golden on the outside. Serve immediately as is or with  your favorite toppings.
