Instructions

- Cover a baking sheet with foil, and coat it with oil.
- Place the potatoes on the foil, and using the heel of your hand (or the back of a spoon) gently smash the potatoes so that they spread, but don't break apart.
- Coat with oil, and season them with salt, black pepper and oregano.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the smashed potatoes are golden and crispy.
- For the Garlic Mayo Dip
- Mix all the ingredients together until fully incorporated.
- Serve with smashed potatoes.
