Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 1 lb small red potato
• 2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
• lawry's seasoned salt, to taste (optional)
• salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Recipe

• 1 scrub potatoes and pat dry. prick each one twice with the tip of a sharp knife. arrange in the microwave in a circle. microwave on high until tender, approximately 4 minutes, but will vary depending on microwave and size of the potatoes. (i use my automatic "potato" setting.).
• 2 line cookie sheet with foil (i prefer no-stick). place cooked potatoes on cookie sheet and gently 'smash' by pressing down with the back of a spatula. drizzle olive oil over them, turning to coat. sprinkle with seasoning salt or salt and pepper to taste.
• 3 roast at 400°f for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy, depending on desired degree of doneness. turning halfway through. serve hot.
• 4 note: it only takes about 20 minutes in my convection oven if i roast them while they are still hot from the microwave. if they have cooled, it takes longer.
