How to Make Cajun Smashed Potatoes
- Wash and scrub 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly.
- Boil potatoes in salted water until tender (approximately 20-25 minutes).
- Drain potatoes and let them steam dry for a few minutes.
- Carefully transfer potatoes to a baking sheet.
- Using a potato masher or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato, leaving some texture.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the butter mixture evenly over the smashed potatoes.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish with fresh chives or green onions (optional).
