Ingredients
1poundsmall potatoes
1tablespoonsalt
2tablespoonoil
salt and pepper to taste
1tablespoonbutter
2tablespoonParmesan cheese
Instructions
Cook the potatoes. Either boil them in salted water for 15 minutes or air fry them at 400 F for 15 minutes. The potatoes are done when a fork goes in easily.
1 pound small potatoes, 1 tablespoon salt
Let the potatoes cool until they can be handled. Dry the potatoes off if there is any moisture on them.
While the potatoes cool preheat your Blackstone griddle on medium heat for 10 minutes.
Put the 2 tablespoons of oil on the griddle. Put the potatoes on the flattop griddle, leaving space between them.
2 tablespoon oil
Smash the potatoes using a spatula, burger press or potato masher. Squish them until they are about 1/2 and inch high.
Let them cook for 2-3 minutes, until brown on the bottom. Then flip them over with a spatula.
Let them cook another 2-3 minutes to brown on the other side.
Right before taking them off top them with the salt, pepper, butter and cheese.
salt and pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
Notes
Make sure your potatoes are dry before putting them on the griddle.
These are especially tasty made with compound butter like garlic butter or herb butter.
Be careful if you decide to fry your potatoes in butter. Butter has a low smoke point and it is easy to accidentally burn it on a hot griddle. Putting the butter on top of the potatoes instead of on the griddle eliminates the burnt butter risk.
