Equipment

  • Stockpot
  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Small Bowl

Ingredients

  • 20 small Potatoes (such as new potatoes)
  • 3-4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • Salt (I used large grain sea salt, like Maldon, which was great)

For Topping:

  • 1 Tablespoon Chopped Scallions
  • 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tablespoons Sriracha (spicy Asian sauce)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the potatoes and boil until fork tender (about 15 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes). Drain and allow to sit at room temperature until cool enough to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a large baking sheet (I brushed mine with a bit of olive oil). Place the potatoes on the baking sheet 2-3 inches apart and smash them down using a potato masher, fork, or a flat surface like the bottom of a can.
  • Whisk together the olive oil and garlic and liberally brush over the top of the potatoes.
  • Bake until golden and crisp, about 15 minutes, checking frequently in the last few minutes of cooking to insure that the garlic doesn't brown.
  • When the potatoes finish cooking, sprinkle them with salt and chopped scallions.
  • In a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise and Siracha together until evenly combined and drizzle over the top of the potatoes.
