Roasted Smashed Potatoes
Share
What You'll Need:
- 2 Tablespoons sea salt
- 3 lbs tiny potatoes
- 4 Tablespoons 4th & Heart Original Ghee, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 Tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, and boil until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly and let them sit in the colander for 5 minutes to steam dry, this is crucial for crispiness.
- While potatoes cook, preheat the oven to 450°F and line two large, rimmed baking
sheets with parchment paper. - In a small bowl, whisk together the melted ghee, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space on all sides. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or jar to gently smash each potato to about ½ inch thickness, keeping them in one piece. Brush each potato generously on both sides with the melted ghee mixture.
- Transfer both pans to the oven, and bake for 30 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and crispy around all the edges, rotating the pans halfway through cooking.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh
chives. Enjoy while warm!
