Description
Crispy Garlic Butter Parmesan Smashed Potatoes bring wholesome comfort food to the table. These potatoes are boiled, smashed, and roasted to perfection in a garlic butter sauce with a cheesy topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds baby gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain and let them dry briefly.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Place boiled potatoes on the baking sheet. Use a flat-bottomed glass or potato masher to gently press down and flatten each one to about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Brush each smashed potato generously with the garlic butter, then drizzle lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and half of the parmesan.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
To make the recipe even richer, add a knob of extra butter at the end. For a fresh twist, top with a little lemon zest when serving.
