Roasted Garlic Butter Smashed Potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, coated in rich garlic butter for a flavorful and comforting side dish.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs (700 g) baby potatoes
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  3. Place the potatoes on the tray and gently smash each one using the bottom of a glass or fork.
  4. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Brush or drizzle the garlic butter mixture over the smashed potatoes.
  6. Roast for 25–30 minutes until crispy and golden around the edges.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness.
  • Add parmesan cheese before roasting for extra flavor and crunch.
  • Sprinkle chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Use rosemary or thyme for a different herb profile.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil or plant-based butter.
