Description
The secret to the best, most crispy roast, smashed potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb Small potatoes
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 pinch parsley flakes
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Cook potatoes: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Boil potatoes until soft – about 20 minutes. Drain.
- Smash Potatoes: Gently smash each potato, using a fork or potato masher. Try to keep them in one piece. Let sit for about 10 minutes, to dry out the surface.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, salt and garlic powder.
- On a sheet pan, drizzle potatoes with butter mix, and make sure to cover all parts of the potatoes completely. NOTE: Do not over-coat the potatoes, as you don't want them to sit in a bath of butter. This will make them struggle to crisp properly.
- Let the potatoes sit for about 10 minutes so the butter is soaked up before baking.
- Bake for 40-60 minutes until golden and super crispy. Sprinkle with parsley flakes and serve immediately
