Ingredients

680g Red Baby Potatoes
30ml chili oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt, to taste

Directions

Step 1
In a saucepan, boil the potatoes in enough water to cover them. Cook until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 230°C. Grease a baking sheet generously.
Step 3
Place each potato on the prepared baking sheet and use the bottom of a sturdy cup or glass to gently smash them down to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the chili oil and crushed garlic. Brush the mixture over the smashed potatoes and season with salt.
Step 5
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven until crispy, about 20 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
