Cheesy Smashed Potato Bites
Servings 2
Equipment
- Small Baking Sheet
- Small glass jar
Ingredients
- ½ lb baby yellow potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Garlic powder to taste
- 1-2 tbsp butter to taste, melted
- 1 clove of garlic finely minced
- ½ cup cheddar cheese finely shredded
- 1 green onion or a few chives, finely chopped
- Fresh parsley finely chopped
For Dipping:
- Sour cream for serving
- Poblano cream sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the tiny baby potatoes on a small baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and garlic powder, to taste; toss to coat evenly.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven, tossing halfway through roasting time, for 20-25 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Side Note: If your potatoes are not the tiny baby ones, they will take longer to roast.
- Using the bottom of a small glass jar, smash each potato until flat.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and mix. Brush the garlic butter evenly over each smashed potato. Season each one with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
- Add a bit of shredded cheese to each smashed potato.
- Place into the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions (or chives) and some chopped parsley.
- Serve with sour cream or poblano cream sauce. Enjoy.
