Delicious Vegan Smashed Potatoes with Garlic and Herbs

Crispy smashed potatoes with garlic and herbs on a rustic wooden table.

These smashed potatoes are boiled until tender, then gently smashed and tossed with garlic, olive oil, and a mix of fresh herbs for a burst of flavor. The dish takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, washed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  2. Preheat Oven: While the potatoes are boiling, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  3. Drain and Smash: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Using a potato masher or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until slightly flattened.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Herb Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, olive oil, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Coat the Potatoes: Drizzle the garlic herb mixture over the smashed potatoes, ensuring they are well coated.
  6. Bake: Transfer the smashed potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
