Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ pounds baby potato
  • ¼ cup butter unsalted
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary fresh, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Fill a large pot with salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat on the stove.
  3. Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Leave them in the colander and allow them to dry out on the counter for 5-10 minutes.
  5. While the potatoes are drying, add the butter to a small saucepan on the stove over medium high heat.
  6. When the butter has melted, add the garlic, steak seasoning and chopped rosemary.
  7. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  8. Place the potatoes on a parchment lined baking sheet and use a fork, or the bottom of a glass, to smash each of the potatoes.
  9. Once all of the potatoes are smashed and in an even layer on one (or two) baking sheets, use a basting brush to brush them with the garlic herb butter.
  10. Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
  11. OPTIONAL: garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
