Description
Warm, creamy Smashed Potatoes whipped with love and coated in garlic butter, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs small red potatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup shredded cheese (your favorite melting cheese)
- Fresh chives, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes: Place your small red potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and let them simmer until they’re slightly soft, about 15-20 minutes.
- Smash the potatoes: Once boiled, drain the potatoes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a fork or a potato masher, gently smash each potato.
- Melt the garlic butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Preheat the oven: While melting the butter, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Baste the potatoes: Drizzle your delicious garlic butter over each smashed potato, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Top with cheese and chives: Sprinkle the mashed potatoes generously with shredded cheese and chopped chives.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
Notes
Make ahead by boiling potatoes in advance and storing in the fridge. Substitute cheese as desired.
