Hey guys! I’m back with another favorite/new recipe. This was absolutely delicious and honestly, I see it being a staple for future BBQ’s.
It was so easy to make and I plan to make them again except on the grill. Let’s see how that one turns out…
So let’s get to it!
Garlic Smashed Potatoes
Easy side, perfect for BBQ's, and a nice way to change up your typical "baked potato".
Ingredients
- 1 bag Mini potatoes Any variety. I used "The Little Potato Co."
- 1 Garlic Clove Crushed
- 1.5 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Parsley sprinkle on top if desired
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Boil potatoes until soft
- While potatoes are boiling, mix together EVOO and crushed garlic clove.
- Prepare a baking sheet and when potatoes are soft, drain and place on baking sheet. Pre-heat oven to 425F
- Next, let cool slightly until safe to touch. then use a potato masher or a fork and smashed potatoes.
- Coat smashed potatoes with the olive oil, garlic mixture.
- Bake uncovered until the bottoms are crisp and the tops are a golden color. apprx 20-25min.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garnish with parsley and some Parmesan cheese if you'd like!

These were super easy to make, with only a few burned finger tips in the process. Sacrificed to a good cause though…. I learned my lesson lol. Let all potatoes cool a bit before smashing!
I feel like this was a happy medium between french fry meets mashed potatoes. Enjoy!!
