Crushed New Potatoes

Crushed New Potatoes with garlic, parsley and butter, an incredibly delicious side dish that makes a great alternative to the good old roast potatoes. Crispy, heavenly flavourful, and sinfully golden, these smashed potatoes are my new favourite side dish.

Ingredients

  • 9 baby / new potatoes
  • 2 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/9 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Boil the potatoes in their skin until cooked through.
  • Pre-heat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (400 Fahrenheit).
  • Use a fork or a potato masher to press on the potatoes and crush them, still keeping them in one piece, but trying to flatten them up as much as you can.
  • Mix the melted butter with the minced garlic and parsley, and drizzle a bit over each of the smashed potatoes, then season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until the edges are begining to brown and they potatoes are crispy.
  • Serve hot!

Notes

  • If you use a fork for that, I would be careful not to break them completely, perhaps a potato masher works better to just press on the potato to smash them well.
  • Now, the combination of butter, garlic and parsley is a killer one, you get the most amazing combo of flavours, which works so well with the potatoes, it's almost impossible not to like it.
  • I used oil as well before, but I decided I liked butter better, not only it gives more richness, but helps the potatoes crisp up better. If you like dill, go for it as well, it's a different flavour, but a delicious one anyway.
