Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2½ pounds baby red potatoes, (12 potatoes, 1½ to2 inches wide)
  • ½ cup (1 stick or 113g) butter, (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • parsley, (chopped (for garnish))
  • ½ teaspoon salt, (or to taste)

Instruction

  • Wash and boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, 25-30 minutes. (It may take longer, depending on the size of the potatoes.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Drain the potatoes, pat them dry, and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  • Use the bottom of a glass to smash the potatoes to about ¼-inch thick.
  • In a small bowl combine melted butter, garlic, and Cajun seasoning.
  • Brush the smashed potatoes with the butter mixture, reserving some to brush on after flipping over the potatoes.
  • Bake 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, flip over the potatoes and brush the remaining butter mixture over the tops of the potatoes.
  • Bake for 25-30 additional minutes, or until the edges are crispy. (Cooking time may vary, depending on the size of the potatoes.)
  • Let the potatoes rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Top with parsley for garnish. Salt to taste.
