Crushed Roasted New Potatoes Recipe
These crispy, crushed (or smashed) roasted new potatoes are one of my favourite side dishes. They take a while, but they are easy to prepare and will roast alongside anything you want to pair them with.

Ingredients
- 450 g New Potatoes 1lb
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Sprig Fresh Thyme
- 1 Sprig Fresh Rosemary
- 1 Bay Leaf
- 3 tablespoon Neutral Cooking Oil
- 1-2 Pinches Coarse Sea Salt Be generous
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a 20cm or 8" saucepan and add enough water to cover them by 2-3cm (1").
- Add the thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and salt, pop the pan on the hob and set the temperature to high, bring the water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes.
- Once the potatoes have boiled, strain them through a colander and allow them to steam dry for 5 minutes.
- Add half of the oil to a 25cm x 20cm (10x8") roasting tray and add the potatoes. It is fine to leave the herbs in, but you will need to remove them before serving. Lightly crush the potatoes with the bottom of a glass and spread them across the tray.
- Drizzle over the remaining oil, sprinkle over the coarse sea salt and roast the potatoes for 40 minutes at 200°C or 390°F.
