Ingredients
  

  • 3 lb of baby potatoes
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil divided
  • 2 tbsp salt divided
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • ½ tbsp ground ginger

Instructions
 

  • First line a tray with tinfoil and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wash and thoroughly dry the potatoes.
  • Place the potatoes on the tinfoil lined tray making sure to not overcrowd the tray. You will probably need two trays.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and ½ tablespoon of ground ginger onto the tray.
  • Stir the potatoes so that everything is evenly coated.
  • Bake the tray of potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  • After the potatoes are fork tender, take the tray out of the oven.
  • Carefully, with a potato masher or the bottom of a pot, smash the potatoes down. You want the potatoes smashed to about a ¼-½ inch thickness.
  • Then, drizzle or brush the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil over the smashed potatoes.
  • Top with the remaining tablespoon of salt.
  • Place the tray back in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are getting lightly golden brown on the bottom.
  • Serve and enjoy!
