Smashed Garlic Cheesy Potatoes
Whoever thinks eating clean doesn't taste good? Well they are CRAZY people!
Now, this isn't a dish I encourage all my cleanse clients to eat.. however, this is a perfect side dish for weekends, grilled wild caught salmon, grass-fed steaks, grilled or roasted chicken, and/or any clean meats.
This is my comfort food.
I make a shit-ton as I always love to have leftovers with fried eggs in the morning. OMG! No words, just delicousness.
Savory and a crowd pleaser! What else do you need in a side dish?
Okay, enough chit chat, let's do this...
Smashed Garlic Cheesy Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs of potatoes (I love tri-colored fingerling potatoes, but you can use red potatoes, or russet)
- 4 tbsp. butter, melted
- 4 garlic cloves diced or pressed.
- 1.5 cups of shredded raw organic cheddar cheese (or any cheese you love)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Directions:
- Boil potatoes until they are soft and easily smashed with a fork
- When potatoes are close to being ready, preheat oven to 425 degrees and begin to slowly melt butter on a low heat.
- Drain & pat potatoes dry.
- Put the potatoes on an bleached parchment paper lined baking sheet
- Using the bottom of a small glass cup, smash the potatoes until they are spread out evenly on the sheet.
- Once butter is melted take off of heat and add in garlic. Stir to mix.
- Pour butter evenly all over potatoes
- Spread cheese over potatoes evenly
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Put in oven for 15-20 minutes.
- Once cheese is bubbly in the middle, broil for 3-4 minutes. This will crisp the top and add the crunch you are always looking for :)
- Enjoy!
- Store leftovers (if there are any) in an airtight glass container.
Boom! That is what I'm talking about. Simple. Delicious. Easy.
You are welcome :)
