If you’ve never tried smashed potatoes before, you’re missing out! These smashed potatoes add garlic, parmesan, and butter into the mix for a delicious side dish.
Jump to RecipeI’m all about easy sides that still taste amazing and add a little something extra to a meal. Smashed potatoes have become extremely popular lately, and honestly? I’m on board for basically any preparation method if potatoes are involved. I love potatoes so much that I wrote a blog post about them. :P
To get this dish started, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easier clean up. After thoroughly cleaning your potatoes, spread them evenly onto your prepared baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes. Make sure that each potato has a few holes poked into them, you can easily do this with a fork.
While your potatoes are roasting, mince your garlic and melt your butter. Mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan. Smash each potato with a fork and drizzle the butter mixture over each potato. Roast potatoes for an additional 10 minutes, or until tender.
And that’s all there is to it! I like to serve these potatoes with my Rosemary, Thyme Balsamic Chicken Breasts or my Pineapple Sage Chicken. If you need more side-spiration, be sure to check out my other side dish recipes.
