Step By Step

Ingredients (5)

Steps (4)

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 450°F. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a generous pinch of salt to water, and bring to a boil. Simmer until potatoes are tender (approximately 15–20 minutes), then drain and set aside.
  • Step 2
    Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray and space potatoes evenly with about an inch of space between them. Then, using a potato masher or large fork, gently press down on each potato until “smashed.”
  • Step 3
    Combine garlic and butter in a small bowl, then brush generously on each potato. Sprinkle with seasoning mix, salt and pepper.
  • Step 4
    Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are golden brown and crispy, approximately 25 minutes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My picky kids love these I make these instead of mashed potatoes and sprinkle ranch powder on them before baking and my kids will eat just this for dinner if I would let them!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Potato perfection! A favorite potato recipe for a family of potato lovers. I make 2 trays at a time they disappear so quickly! To speed up preparation I place another sheet pan on top of the tray of boiled potatoes and smash them all at the same time. They're all fairly evenly smashed that way too. Just spray the bottom of the sheet pan first to avoid sticking.
