Cowboy Butter Smashed Potatoes

Instructions

    • Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. (Depending on the size of the potatoes, boiling times may vary.)
    • Preheat the oven to 425°F* and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Drain the potatoes and place them on the lined baking sheet.
    • Using a potato masher or the bottom of a sturdy glass, smash the potatoes to about ¼-inch thick.
    • Drizzle the smashed potatoes with the olive oil.
    • Bake for 25 minutes.
    • After 25 minutes, flip over the potatoes and brush the cowboy butter generously over the tops of the potatoes.
    • Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy. (Cooking times may vary, depending on the size of the potatoes.)
    • Let the potatoes rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with parsley. Salt to taste.

Notes

*Air Fryer Instructions

  1. Boil, smash, and brush the potatoes with the olive oil.
  2. Next, line the basket of your air fryer with parchment paper. Place smashed potatoes in the basket in a single layer. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches.)
  3. Air fry for 14-15 minutes at 400°F, or until the potatoes reach your desired crispiness, flipping over and brushing the potatoes with the cowboy butter halfway through.
