Smashed new potatoes with spicy gremolata

We love potatoes, and this recipe works well when we could find small new potatoes on the farmers' market and want something fancy.

Ingredients

Yields 2 portions

  • Spicy gremolata
  • 1 kg small new potatoes
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

You will need

  • oven
  • baking tray

Directions

  1. Wash and clean potatoes.
  2. Cook potatoes in water with a lot of salt, until soft (but not too soft — a knife should enter with a bit of resistance).
  3. Preheat oven to 240 ˚C.
  4. When the potatoes are cooked, drain them in a colander.
  5. Using a flat-bottomed glass, gently smash the potatoes.
  6. Place the potatoes onto a baking tray.
  7. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, and add more salt if needed.
  8. Bake the potatoes until golden, for about 30 minutes. Turn the potatoes, and bake until golden on the other side, for about 20 minutes more.
  9. Serve topped with the gremolata.
