Smashed Potatoes
Ingredients
6 x baking potatoes
6 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp of whole fennel seeds
Salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place potatoes on a baking tray and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, until tender.
Turn oven up to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Push down on the baked potatoes with a potato masher or small plate so that they crack open and are flattened, doubling in diameter. Drizzle liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with fennel seeds and salt and pepper. Bake until golden and crisp about 15 to 20 minutes more.
