Description
These smashed red potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with garlicky herb flavor. Roasted to golden perfection and finished with a brush of butter, they’re a simple yet show-stopping side dish for any occasion—from weeknight dinners to holiday feasts.
Ingredients
1½ lbs baby red potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, or thyme)
Instructions
Boil potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain and transfer potatoes to the sheet. Use the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato to about ½-inch thick.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden.
In the last 5 minutes, brush with melted butter mixed with garlic and herbs.
Serve hot and garnish with extra herbs if desired.
