Ingredients

• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water and add 1 tablespoon of salt to the pot.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 5

Smash each potato gently with the back of a fork or the bottom of a glass, being careful not to break them apart completely.

Step 6

Add the smashed potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space to crisp up (you may need to cook them in batches).

Step 7

Cook the potatoes for 4-5 minutes on one side without stirring, until they develop a golden, crispy crust.

Step 8

Flip the potatoes and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side to ensure even crisping.

Step 9

Add the garlic cloves (crushed or minced) and the rosemary or thyme sprig to the skillet during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Stir gently to coat the potatoes in the garlic-infused butter.

Step 10

Season the potatoes with black pepper and additional salt if needed.

Step 11

Remove the potatoes from the skillet and place them on a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
