Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Small baby potatoes
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle.
Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass, a potato masher, or your palm to gently press down on each potato until it is flattened but still intact.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the smashed potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are baking, melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Once the potatoes are done baking, remove the tray from the oven and drizzle the garlic butter over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve the smashed potatoes immediately as a side dish or snack, and enjoy!
