Cook Potatoes: Place small potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, add 1 tbsp of salt, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.

Preheat Oven: While boiling, preheat oven to 200°C (390°F), or 180°C for fan ovens.

Steam Dry: Drain cooked potatoes and let them sit for about 5 minutes to steam dry.

Smash Potatoes: Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet and gently flatten each with a glass or fork, aiming for a nubbly texture.

Steam Dry Again: Allow smashed potatoes to rest for another 5 minutes.

Drizzle & Season: Drizzle melted butter and olive oil over potatoes, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
