Smashed Potatoes
It's easy to make perfectly crispy Smashed Potatoes for a delicious side dish. Seasoned with a garlic herb butter, this is the most flavorful recipe for smashed potatoes ever!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Fill a large pot with salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat on the stove.
- Once the water is boiling, add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes in a colander. Leave them in the colander and allow them to dry out on the counter for 5-10 minutes.
- While the potatoes are drying, add the butter to a small saucepan on the stove over medium high heat.
- When the butter has melted, add the garlic, steak seasoning and chopped rosemary.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Place the potatoes in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
- OPTIONAL: garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
