Smashed Potatoes - On a Sheet Pan with Crispy Edges and Pepper

Creamer potatoes are small, young potatoes harvested before they reach full maturity. They have thin skins, a naturally buttery flavor, and a soft, creamy interior. Their bite-sized shape makes them ideal for boiling and roasting; the skins crisp nicely in the oven while the insides stay tender.
