Try not to squee over how cute these mini loaded smashed potato bites are. Also try to resist eating the entire pan of them, because as we all know, when food is mini, it’s calorie free.

Right?

Fairy tales and wishes aside, hot dang folks, these are the perfect summertime appetizer or side dish. I actually could make a meal out of these easily, but I whipped them up with the intent of having a deliciously new finger food for my summertime soirees.

They are super easy. Boil baby potatoes. Smash baby potatoes. Sprinkle sea salt and olive oil on baby potatoes and bake until crispy.

Evilly easy. My favorite type of recipe.

You know the catch phrase “Bet you can’t eat just one?”

If it wasn’t infringing on someone else’s copyright, I’d be telling you that exact phrase applies to these beauties. Like I said, there’s no reason you can’t eat a plate full of these and call it dinner. I won’t judge you.

Are you ready for another little secret? Actually, it’s a pretty lame one and anyone that had made my Absolute Best Ever Twice Baked Stuffed Potatoes is already familiar with the secret.

Seasoning salt.

Told you it was lame, but it’s true. Seasoning salt is a must here for the best flavour combination possible. You can use plain sea salt but trust Magpie, seasoning salt makes these amazing!

Now admit it, who’s going to eat a solid dozen of these and call it a night?

Love you more than chocolate,

    Can the potatoes be cooked ahead of time and reheated ?

    Side Note: I take baby potatoes, bake em or nuke em. Squash them flat, top them with olive oil and fennel seeds. Bake for a few minutes and enjoy!
