Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby potatoes
• 4 whole garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Using the bottom of a glass, gently press down on each potato to flatten them slightly, creating a 'smashed' appearance.

Step 7

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the olive oil, butter, and minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the smashed potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 9

Sprinkle the Montreal steak seasoning evenly over the potatoes, followed by the black pepper.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are golden and crispy.

Step 11

Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 12

Serve immediately as a side dish, and enjoy!
