Large Side Of Garlic Smashed Potatoes Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Boil the Potatoes

   Place the baby redskin potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add a teaspoon of salt and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Garlic

   While the potatoes are boiling, peel and smash the garlic cloves. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add the smashed garlic. Cook gently until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

3. 3

   Drain and Smash

   Once the potatoes are tender, drain them in a colander. Return them to the pot and add the garlic butter mixture along with the heavy cream, remaining salt, and black pepper. Using a potato masher, gently smash the potatoes to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.

4. 4

   Garnish and Serve

   Transfer the smashed potatoes to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with chopped chives and serve warm.
