Ingredients

Full recipe and amounts can be found in the recipe card below. 

Baby potatoes.  Bacon fat. I reserve the bacon grease every time I cook bacon. I store it in a sealed jar. If you don’t have bacon fat, duck fat is a good substitute. Otherwise just use olive oil. Fresh thyme.  Garlic powder.  Salt and pepper.  To serve: I like serving the potatoes on a platter with sour cream and chives but that’s optional.

How to make smashed baby potatoes

Can I make this ahead?

The potatoes can be boiled up to two days in advance and kept covered in the fridge. They can be smashed in the bacon fat and kept on the sheetpans up to 6 hours in advance and just roasted before serving.
