Equipment

  • flat-bottomed glass or a potato masher
  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes I used 1-inch golden potatoes

For the garlic oil glaze

  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • a generous pinch of salt and pepper

Vegan Honey Mustard Sauce

  • ½ cup vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by cutting off the tip of a bulb of garlic. Drizzle olive oil over it, then wrap it up in foil and roast it for 45 minutes at 425*F/ 218*C.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and generously salt it.
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water and boil them until they are so soft you can easily stick a fork in them (about 15-20 minutes).
  • Transfer the small potatoes to a baking tray that you have lined with parchment paper.
  • Use a flat-bottomed cup to smash each potato. The thinner you flatten each one, the crispier it will be.
  • Now that all of the potatoes are smashed, it's time to make the garlic olive oil glaze.
  • Add to olive oil to a small bowl. Then squeeze out the garlic from the roasted garlic bulb.
  • Add the salt and pepper to taste, then stir the mixture.
  • Take a pastry brush or basting brush and brush a generous amount of garlic oil on each potato.
  • Now bake the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 at 425*F/ 218*C, until they are golden and crispy. If you want them even crispier, roast them for an additional 5 minutes.
  • If you want to make this recipe in the air fryer instead, follow the same instructions, but air fry for 15-20 minutes at 400*F in the air fryer.
  • While the potatoes are baking, make the vegan honey mustard.
  • Combine all of the honey mustard ingredients in a bowl and whisk them together.
  • Once the potatoes are ready, top them with flakey salt and green onion, dip them into the sauce, and enjoy!
