My Dad keeps talking about these potatoes that I made before which he says I squashed a bit and then put them in the oven to crisp up. I had no recollection of these squashed, crispy potatoes until I came across these. Is this them Dad? If so I’ll make them for you next time I see you.
Crispy New Potatoes – to serve 4
- 16 smallish new potatoes, leave the skins on
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- paprika
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Boil the potatoes for 10 minutes, drain and then put back on the warm ring to dry off. Spread the potatoes out on a baking tray and squash them a bit using a potato masher. Be careful here as you only want them a bit squashed and not completely smashed (though I smashed one or two and it just made them even more crispy so don’t worry too much).
Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle over a little paprika, salt and pepper. Now roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until nice and crispy.

These look really good. I’ll have to give this recipe a try next time I want to jazz up my spuds a bit!
Yes Jules I think this is them. Dad
This looks so yummy! I must try.
These are fab! I just made them. Like roast potatoes! I drizzled oil on the tray before adding the potatoes and then drizzled over the top of them too. Took them about half an hour to get good and crispy. I LOVE THEM! Thankyou 😀
Glad you liked them Irene. J&J
