Boiling, then baking, gives these baby potatoes a great crispy crust.

Total Time 50 mins
- 1 lb small potatoes
- Vegetable or olive oil your preference
- Coarse salt
- Herbs or seasonings of your choice
Boil potatoes whole until just tender, about 15 minutes.
On a greased baking sheet, place all drained potatoes. Using the base of a glass, slowly and gently push down on each potato until it just breaks. Continue until all are done. Drizzle more oil generously over potatoes, then sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake at 450°F for about 35 minutes or until crisp, turning once (or just turn on broiler at end for a few minutes to brown tops instead of turning).
