How To Make This Recipe
It’s so easy and quick to make this recipe. You don’t even have to boil the potatoes. Just use microwave to cook the potatoes. Arrange the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet and smash them. Bake in the oven until both sides are crispy.
Cooking Tips
Use a rimmed baking sheet. Add the olive oil on the baking sheet. The oil will cook and sizzle the potatoes in the oven. Roast the potatoes on the floor of the oven. The floor of the oven is the hottest part of the oven and the direct contact of heat will make your potatoes extra crispy with crunchy edges. DO NOT place the baking sheet on the rack.
