minutesIngredients
- 1 bag
of small yellow gold potatoes, approx. 2lbs
- 4-6 cloves
of garlic, chopped
- 1/2 stick
butter
- 4-6 tbsp
olive oil
Fresh Italian parsley, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°
Bring pot of water to a boil and boil potatoes until fork tender, appox 15-20 mins. Drain potatoes.
Carefully melt butter in the microwave, once melted, add garlic to melted butter.
Place potatoes on a sheet tray that has been sprayed with oil and allow them to cool for 5 minutes, until they are cool enough to handle with your hands. With a drinking glass, carefully “smash” each potato down so they are all about ½” thick. The thinner they are, the crispier they get!

Drizzle olive oil all over the potatoes, then top each potato with butter garlic mixture.
Sprinkle half of the chopped parsley over the potatoes and season with salt & pepper.
Place in the oven and bake approx. 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are a crispy and golden brown, it’s ok if they take 40 minutes, keep an eye on them!
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining parsley and season to taste! Serve immediately 😊
