Ingredients

• 2 lb Red potatoes
• 2 tsp Salt
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut any large potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. Leave the skins on for texture and flavor.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for 15–18 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.

Step 4

While the potatoes cook, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 5

Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow excess moisture to evaporate.

Step 6

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, letting the butter melt completely.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden.

Step 8

Using a sturdy fork or a potato masher, gently crush the potatoes one at a time, leaving them chunky. Transfer the crushed potatoes to the skillet with the garlic butter.

Step 9

Cook the potatoes in the skillet for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the edges.

Step 10

Season the potatoes with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top as a garnish.

Step 11

Transfer the crushed red potatoes to a serving dish and serve immediately, while they are warm and crispy.
