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

  1. Preheat oven to 400F
  2. Cook potatoes: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Boil potatoes until soft – about 20 minutes. Drain.
  3. 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.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, salt and garlic powder.
  5. 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.
  6. Let the potatoes sit for about 10 minutes so the butter is soaked up before baking.
  7. Bake for 40-60 minutes until golden and super crispy. Sprinkle with parsley flakes and serve immediately
