Happy weekend friends! You know by now if you’re getting an email from me bright and early on Saturday morning that can only mean one thing…it’s Simple Saturday at the BHK! Today’s recipe is simpler than simple! These Roasted Smashed Potatoes are the perfect simple side!
You can serve them with those yummy Mini Stuffed Turkey Meatloaves that were on the blog last week or even with your eggs in the morning! Just boil them and then place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Smash them and then drizzle them with olive oil. And last but not least, sprinkle them with some kosher salt, ground pepper and fresh chopped rosemary, then bake! Simple! Am I right?!
It’s not called Simple Saturday for nothin’ folks! Have a great weekend!

Oh my goodness, I king forgot all about smashed potatoes, Mary Ann! Boy was addicted to them a while back, and I got sick of making them, so it’s been too long since I’ve devoured them! So crispy, so simple, seriously delicious! Can’t wait to try yours! Cheers and happy weekend!
I knew I would have to include these for a Simple Saturday recipe Cheyanne! Savory, simple and delicous! Enjoy the snow! Stay warm!
** kind of. I hate auto correct.
No prob! Happens to me all the time!
I saw new small potatoes at the the Farmer’s Market last Sunday. Now I know how to cook them. Thank you Mary Ann, enjoy your weekend.
The small potatoes are my favorite Gerlinde! We love fingerling potatoes too!
My most favorite version of the potato, creamy and crispy at the same time. Simple, but impressive. Yum!
Agreed Cathy! Stay warm!
Beautiful potatoes. A classic and one of my husband’s favourite ways to enjoy potatoes!!
Mine too Jennifer! These are a husband hit for sure! My husband could probably even make these by himself (if he tried!)
Such a fantastic potato Mary Ann. I just adore how crispy the outter edges get when you give them a little smash. I also love your idea of serving these beauties with breakfast as it makes for a nice serving of carbs to help the Mr. and I refuel after an intense cardio session.
Yes, these are the perfect little side treat for a veggie packed omelette! Enjoy the day Lynn!
Mary Ann – I would eat this whole tray! I love simple side dishes and these are just gorgeous! Love the rosemary in there.
Thanks Geraldine! Looks like more work went into them, but they’re easy as pie!
The ultimate comfort food; potatoes… and smashed potatoes! I’ve not made them in sooo long! I love your addition of rosemary too, something I’ve not tried. I can imagine those crispy edges with the oven at 450F! I’m lovin your easy Saturday features, Mary Ann! xo
Thanks so much Traci. My husband Tom loves these with either dinner or a delicious omelette on the weekends! Hope you have a great week!
I can’t believe I missed these!! Oh, I need to them ASAP!! They look so good!
You’re going to love them Jessica! So easy!
I’ve always had this subconscious idea that potatoes are labor-intensive to prepare, so I don’t often buy them. I’m going to load up on my next trip to the store, though, because these look SO mouthwatering and straightforward!
They really are so easy! You’re going to LOVE them!Sprinkle with whatever spices are your favorite! Thanks so much for commenting!
