Ingredients

  • 1 lb small-medium redskin potatoes
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • dried or fresh dill, to taste
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in potatoes. Cook potatoes until just cooked, but not all the way done. About 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes. Test with a thin blade knife for doneness
  • While the potatoes are cooking mix olive oil and garlic.
  • Drain potatoes and cut each in half.
  • Place potatoes, skin side down, on a baking sheet sprayed with non stick spray
  • Using a fork (I think it works better than a potato masher), smash down the potato
  • Brush the olive oil mixture on each potato. Sprinkle with dill and season with salt and pepper.
  • Immediately place baking sheet into the hot oven.
  • Bake 20-30 minutes or until the top of the potatoes are crispy. Serve immediately.
