Lightly brush the top with olive oil and put back into the oven to roast again for about 45 minutes. Flip occasionally and brush the other side with olive oil. When they are brown and crisp, remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve. If you would like to do this ahead of time, you can roast the small potatoes and lightly smash them, then let them cool to room temperature. They can now be refrigerated or frozen. If you freeze them, thaw slightly and then continue with the second baking in the oven as directed.
