Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 pounds small potatoes
  • kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (1/2 stick)
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • freshly chopped parsley for serving

Instruction

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot with cold salted water. Bring to a boil and boil uncovered for 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and scatter on a large baking sheet to cool slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to 400F. Place a second baking sheet on top of the potatoes and press down all over to smash the potatoes to about 1/2 inch thick. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and lots of pepper. 
  • Roast the potatoes for 40 minutes until browned and crispy at the edges. Meanwhile, combine the garlic with the melted butter. 
  • When the potatoes have roasted, remove them from the oven and drizzle all over with the garlic butter. Return to the oven for 10 minutes. 
  • Take the potatoes out of the oven when they are crispy at the edges and soft in the center. Taste and add more salt if you'd like. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve!
