Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg baby potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • large pinch salt and pepper

For the Creamy Avocado Dip

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 10 g fresh basil
  • 1 clove garlic (I used a roasted piece of garlic)
  • 1/2 lime squeezed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp chilli flakes to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding a large pot of water onto boil, salt the water then add the packet of potatoes, boil for around 15 minutes of until you can pierce easily with a fork
  • Meanwhile preheat the oven to 220ºC (fan) then drain off the potatoes once boiled, allow to steam off for a few minutes so they're no longer wet then add to two baking trays
  • Using a glass, smash the potatoes (don't worry if some of the potato stick to the glass, just smush them together
  • Drizzle oil and salt over each potato, making sure to get a little oil underneath them if you're not using a non-stick pan
  • Bake in the oven for around 40 minutes or until crispy
  • Blend the avocado ingredients together, garnish with chilli flakes then enjoy!
