  • to taste Pepper Freshly ground is preferred.
  • optional Garlic powder For added flavor.
  • optional Chopped fresh parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the baby potatoes under running water to remove any dirt, keeping the skin on for texture.
Boiling
  1. In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
Draining and Drying
  1. Drain the cooked potatoes in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow steam to escape for extra crispiness.
Preheating the Grill
  1. Preheat your Blackstone grill over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
Smashing the Potatoes
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the dried potatoes on the sheet and gently smash each to about ½-inch thickness.
Seasoning
  1. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper.
Grilling
  1. Transfer the smashed potatoes to the Blackstone and grill for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip them and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
Serving
  1. Remove the potatoes from the grill, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for about a month. Reheat on the Blackstone over medium heat with a bit of oil.
