Ingredients
1.5 lbs Petite Yukon Gold or FIngerling Potatoes
3 Tablespoons Salted Butter * (melted)
2 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
Fresh Parsley (chopped)
Garlic Cheddar Sour Cream Dip:
8 ounces Sour Cream
3/4 cup Cheddar Cheese (grated)
1 Garlic Clove (or 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Start by using petite gold or fingerling potatoes. You want to use small potatoes to make
it easy to smash them with the bottom of a glass. If they are too large, they will just fall
apart. I prefer yukon gold potatoes because of their creamy texture and thin skins.
Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with water. Place on high heat until boiling. Boil
for about 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and fork-tender. You want them to
be soft enough to smash! The larger the potatoes, the longer the cooking time.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Drain the water and place the potatoes in a colander to
allow the steam to release for about 5 minutes. Get a large baking sheet ready. Place the
potatoes on the baking sheet and press on each one with the bottom of a glass to
"smash" them.
Drizzle the potatoes with melted salted butter and extra-virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper. 
 Bake in a 425-degree oven for about 35-45 minutes, depending on the level of desired
crispiness. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with garlic cheddar sour cream dip.
Garlic Cheddar Sour Cream Dip:
In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic, and pepper. Top the
potatoes with the dip or dip the potatoes into the dip.
Recipe Notes
For extra buttery potatoes, use 4 Tablespoons of butter
