Print Recipe

Deliciously crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these smashed potatoes are a quick and comforting side dish infused with garlic and topped with parmesan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red)
  • 2 to 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (optional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Optional garnish: extra parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain and let cool slightly.
  4. Place the potatoes on a lined baking sheet. Use a fork or the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato.
  5. Drizzle the olive oil and melted butter over the smashed potatoes.
  6. Sprinkle minced garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and dried herbs on top.
  7. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Use small, even potatoes for optimal cooking. Always dry the potatoes well for better crisping. Swap cheeses or herbs as desired.
