Ingredients

Scale

  5. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.

  • Make sure the potatoes are well-drained before smashing to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • These potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
