Smashed Potatoes

Small red or white potatoes (about 1-2 inches in diameter)
Olive oil
Salt and Pepper

1.  Boil your potatoes until fork tender about 10 minutes (depending on size).  Drain in a colander and place a dry towel over top.  Allow to steam for 1-2 minutes.
2.  In the meantime, drizzle olive oil on a sheet pan and preheat your oven to 450 degrees with the top rack in the top third of the oven.
3.  Once the potatoes are cooked, use a flat bottomed rocks glass to smash the potatoes.  Gently press the potato until you hear the skin "break".
4.  Place on the baking sheet, drizzle the tops with olive oil, salt and pepper and bake on the top rack for 25-30+ minutes, turning once after 15 minutes.  Brown to desired crispiness.
5.  Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, as you would french fries.
