The transformation from lowly tuber to spectacular bowl of garlic smashed potatoes takes less than 30 minutes. Rekindle your love affair with the potato! Your tastebuds will thank you.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, washed (cut them into quarters if they are large)
  • 8 tablespoons butter
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced (or as much as you like!)
  • squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • kosher salt
  • pepper
  • parsley

Instructions

  1. Fill a pot large enough to hold the potatoes with an inch of water above the potatoes.
  2. Add the potatoes to the cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is at a boil, add some kosher salt to the water.
  3. Reduce heat; simmer potatoes for 10 minutes or until done.
  4. While the potatoes are cooking, mince the garlic.
  5. Add the butter to a small saucepan.
  6. Once the butter begins to melt, add the garlic and gently sauté to lightly brown the garlic. Keep the butter warm until the potatoes are cooked.
  7. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot they were boiled in.
  8. Lightly smash the potatoes with a potato masher or a fork.
  9. Pour the butter and garlic mixture over the top of the potatoes. Stir to combine.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
  11. Give the potatoes an additional pop of flavor with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
  12. Garnish with lightly chopped parsley.

Notes

  1. Always start your potatoes in cold water so the potato will cook evenly all the way through.
  2. Always salt the water when you boil potatoes. This ensures you get a head start on a great tasting potato.
