Directions

  1. Place potatoes into a very large pot and cover with salted water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 40 minutes. Drain.

  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  3. Arrange potatoes close together in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Use a fork to press about 1 inch deep in the center of each potato until inner flesh is exposed.

  4. Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil, garlic, and salt together in a small bowl to blend. Drizzle over potatoes.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven, basting occasionally with the oil mixture, until potatoes are crisp and brown on top, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Add additional oil if potatoes seem dry.

  6. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.

Recipe Note

Great garlic-smashed potatoes for a party. The potatoes can be boiled and smashed ahead of time, leaving only the baking to do once guests arrive.
