  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  3. Smash the Potatoes: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the potatoes. Use a fork or the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
  4. Season and Bake: Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy.
  5. Prepare the Garlic Aioli: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve: Once the potatoes are crispy, remove from the oven and serve hot with the garlic aioli for dipping.
