Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, small to medium size or red potatoes
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil or canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp+ coarse ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp+ garlic powder
  • optional garlic butter - 1 stick of butter (melted), 2 minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley

Equipment

  • 1 Blackstone Griddle Grill

Method
 

  1. Boil the baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes, dry them with paper towels, and let them cool slightly.
  2. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat and then grease the griddle with the oil.
  3. Place the boiled potatoes on the griddle. Using a spatula or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until it's flattened but still in one piece.
  4. Sprinkle the smashed potatoes with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  5. Melt the stick of butter and add minced garlic and chopped parsley. Drizzle this over the potatoes. (Optional step).
  6. Cook the potatoes for about 5 minutes on each side or until they're crispy and golden brown. You can drizzle them with garlic butter made from a stick of melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
  7. Remove the potatoes from the griddle and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Terrific optional toppings are sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and chives.
  • Be careful not to oversmash the potatoes or they'll fall apart on the griddle.
