Rosemary Smashed Potatoes

Let’s face it, potatoes are amazing in any form they take whether its a baked potato, mashed potatoes, french fries, potato chips, etc. Today I bring to you my new favorite way to make potatoes: smashed potatoes. The process is quite simple and requires very little ingredients, but the result is delightful. In my opinion, these are some gourmet potato chips that will satisfy everyone. I added an extra twist to the potatoes by using fresh minced rosemary from Maya’s Farm and rosemary infused olive oil from Hatun. Grab yourself a bag of baby potatoes from Blue Sky Farms at the market this weekend while they are in season!
