Smashed Garlic Roasties

As always, measure with your heart.

Ingredients:

Method:

Roughly peel potatoes (cut larger potatoes in half to keep them around the same size).
Add potatoes to a pot of cold water with a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil, covered with a lid.
Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to keep it from boiling over (& remove the lid). Continue boiling for about 5+ minutes depending on size of potatoes.
You only want to par-boil these potatoes, so test with a fork and when it goes in with only slight resistance, you’re done.
Remove the boiled potatoes from the heat, drain water well and let them cool slightly.
While your potatoes are boiling, soften butter in a large bowl in the microwave. When softened/starting to melt add oil, garlic powder and parsley, stir to combine and let the flavours develop.
After your potatoes are parboiled add them to a large bowl with garlic butter mixture. Gently coat in mixture, to avoid potatoes breaking apart.
Place coated potatoes on a lined baking sheet, spaced out
Gently use a fork to apply pressure to the centre of potato, to slightly smash. Just one push will do for each potato.
Use any left over butter mixture in the bowl to pour/brush over smashed potatoes.
Sprinkle Salt and Pepper over the top .
Add to a 180 degrees preheated oven for 10-20 minutes.
Watch for that golden colour and browning edges, get them nice and crispy!
These bad boys are ready to serve with any meal!
