Ingredients
  

  • 12 small potatoes, I use local organic BC farm fresh potatoes when in season or "The Little Potato Company" potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon italian parsley, finely chopped for garnish
  • 1 cup cilantro-lime sauce, see recipe below

Instructions
 

  • Prepare cilantro-lime sauce according to the receipe below.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add potatoes.
  • Cook the potatoes (with skin on) until they are soft, approximately 20 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Drain the potatoes and let them dry in a colander for 5 minutes or so.
  • Then place the potatoes on a parchment-lined cooking tray. Using a spatula or potato masher gently squish or flatten the potatoes, being careful to keep them in one piece.
  • Leave the potatoes on the tray to steam dry for 10 minutes, or so, this makes them crispier!
  • Drizzle the potatoes with butter and a little bit of olive oil. Top the potatoes with the crushed garlic and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and deep golden in colour.
  • Serve hot with a healthy tablespoon of cilantro-lime sauce ladled over top. Garnish with parsley if desired. (cilantro-lime sauce recipe is below this recipe)
