Ingredients

  • 1 kg baby potatoes
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika powder

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 232°C/450°F and line baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Boiling potatoes: Add potatoes into a pot filled with cold water and salt. Bring to a boil and then boil for 13-15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain the water, and transfer onto the pre-lined baking tray. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. Smashed potatoes: Grab a cup, and with the back end, gently smash the potatoes. Mix together olive oil with all the spices listed above. Brush all the potatoes with this Indian spiced olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crispy.
