- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

- Chop each potato into quarters or eighths (depending on potato size).

- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes start to brown.
- Remove from the oven and use a handheld masher to gently smash each piece.

- Return the tray to the oven for another 5–10 minutes, or until you reach your desired crispiness.
- Season with salt as per your taste.
- Serve and enjoy!
