Oven-roasted in butter, smashed with garlic and minced chives.
Okay, so “smashed” potatoes are sometimes considered just a lazy way of makingmashed potatoes.
And indeed, they take a lot less effort.

Spring new potatoes smash up great, as do buttery Yukon Golds.
In this recipe, you essentially bake them in a pot in the oven.
The potatoes cook in their own moisture while they are bathed in butter.

Cover and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Take the potatoes out and mix them so theyre coated with butter.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt.
To test for doneness, poke a potato with a fork.
If the fork penetrates easily, they’re done.
Dont pound them into oblivion, just crush them.
Toss with the garlic and remaining butter.
Add more salt to taste.
Sprinkle chives on the potatoes to serve.
