INGREDIENTS
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, a mix of baby potatoes and small red potatoes, leave the skins on
- 3-4 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper to taste
- 5 cloves garlic, these potatoes have intense garlic flavor, if you normally are not used to strong garlic flavor add less, minced or pressed
- For serving: sea salt flakes, crushed black pepper, parsley, sour cream, yogurt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Give your potatoes a good rinse and scrub them clean if dirty.
- Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once potatoes are cooked, drain them from water and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil. Place potatoes on the sheet about 3 or more inches apart from each other.
- Gently smash each potato with a potato masher or a fork until they’ve flattened to about ½-1 inch thick. (More thinner=more crispy)
- In a small bowl mix melted butter and garlic. Brush each potato generously until fully covered in the garlic butter. (Here you can also add cheese if using)
- Bake potatoes for 15 minutes or until golden brown and exterior is crispy to your liking.
- Serve the cooked potatoes as a great side dish with sea salt flakes, chopped parsley and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top.
