Add the potatoes to a large pot of boiling water with a tsp of salt added. Boil for about 20 minutes or until soft to poke with a fork. Drain water.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

Combine all the ingredients under Seasoning Mix together in a bowl. 

Spread about half of the olive oil onto a baking sheet and spread around using a spatula or pastry brush

Create 4 rows of 4 potatoes, and smash each one gently either using a potato masher or simply a fork if you wish

Use the pastry brush to brush the remaining olive oil onto each potato

Sprinkle each smashed potato with seasoning mix, amount will be as desired yet I was generous in the sprinkling

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges and tops are crispy

Optional - add sour cream and chopped green onion to make these Loaded Smashed Red Potatoes 

Enjoy!
