These crispy smashed potatoes in oven are made with new baby potatoes - first boiled, then smashed, then brushed with garlic butter, and then baked...it’s as easy as that!
Once potatoes are cooked, drain them from water and let cool for 5-10 minutes.Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.
Place potatoes on the sheet about 3 or more inches apart from each other. Gently smash each potato with a potato masher or a fork until they’ve flattened to about ½-1 inch thick.
In a small bowl mix melted butter and garlic. Brush each potato generously until fully covered in the garlic butter. (Here you can also add cheese if using)
