Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds small gold potatoes boiled and cooled
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • roasted garlic cloves smashed
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Boil Potatoes

  • Place potatoes into a large stock pot or sauce pan and fill with water, making sure the water is at least 1" above the potatoes. Heat over medium high heat for about 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are soft when a fork is inserted in the center. Drain potatoes and let stand to cool, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to cool. 

Roast Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  •  Place butter and oil in a skillet and heat over medium heat until melted.
  • Stir in garlic cloves and cook for 1 more minute. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Toss whole potatoes into butter mixture and stir to coat. Place potatoes onto the prepared baking pan. 
  • Using the bottom of a glass, gently press down on each potato to flatten to about 1/2" thickness.
  • Spread potatoes out so they are not touching and drizzle any leftover garlic butter mixture onto potatoes.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 minutes or until crispy and hot.
  • Top with chopped fresh parsley before serving. 

Notes

This recipe requires prep. Boil potatoes to fork-tender and roast fresh garlic cloves. Jarred garlic cloves can be used in a pinch but the freshly roasted ones are worth the time. Instructions are in full post for this method and we have a full article on it. 
Other seasonings that go great on smashed potatoes are pepper flakes, chili powder, paprika, and flaky sea salt.
