I am not a huge potato fan. I find them to be a little bland and boring. With so many vegetables and other foods that are so full off zing, the potato is a bit of a let down in the flavor department. Enter this recipe! The potato is made first by boiling it (this can be made a day ahead if making for company) then broiled to give the top a delicious slightly crispy texture.
I made this recipe using 16 baby potatoes. They weren't tiny probably the size of apricots. You can use any amount you want. 4 or 40 it doesn't matter this recipe does not require any measuring (yes it's that easy).

| The Final Product |
Baked & Broiled Baby Potatoes
- baby potatoes, washed
- olive oil
- sea salt
* Boil the whole baby potatoes until they are just soft. I judge this by using a knife. When I insert a knife I want it to slide out with slight shake, as opposed to sliding right out. Our family prefers potatoes not overly soft, but feel free to make them the later way if you like a softer potato.
* Once boiled drain, allow most of the water to dry off. Approx. 5 mins
* Slice 3 'slats' in the potatoes 1/3 of the way through. This is done by making two cuts about 6mm from each other, and meeting together in the middle, a little triangle of potato will form and pop out. You can always just cut 6 single straight lines, the broiling will spread them apart slightly.
* Brush olive oil on the tops of your potatoes, then sprinkle with sea salt
* Broil until tops get slight crispy but are not browning. Olive oil be starting to look dry.
Add salad, a vegetable and protein and presto a 'new' potato is ready to complete the meal!
