Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 medium new potatoes
1 small onion, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with water. Salt lightly and bring to a simmer. Cook until just tender, 10 - 15 minutes. Drain. Preheat the broiler.

Press down on the potato firmly with the palm of your hand, crushing the potato lightly. Place the potato on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  • Brush the tops of the potatoes with oil. Broil until the tops are brown and crusty, 5-8 minutes. Sprinkle with onions, parsley, salt and pepper before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of cumin, so I used a little less than the recipe called for. They still turned out great!

I found that the potatoes took a little longer to cook than the recipe said. But they were worth the wait!

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little bit of heat. Maybe some cayenne pepper or chili powder.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the potatoes turned out perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

The combination of garlic, cumin, and oregano gives these potatoes an irresistible flavor.
