Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Baby potatoes
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
In a large pot, cover the baby potatoes with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for 5 minutes until manageable to handle.
Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass, a spoon, or a potato masher to gently press down on each potato to flatten them slightly.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Mix the melted garlic butter with olive oil, then brush the mixture generously over the flattened potatoes.
Sprinkle the potatoes evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika for flavor.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they become golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor (optional).
Serve the buttery roasted crushed potatoes warm as a side dish or appetizer, and enjoy!
