These crispy Blackstone griddle smash potatoes with garlic parmesan are a quick, easy, and flavorful side dish featuring golden, crunchy edges and a creamy inside. Perfect for weeknights or casual get-togethers, they deliver next-level comfort food with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds (900 grams) russet potatoes
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • ½ cup (50 grams) freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and scrub 2 pounds (900 g) of russet potatoes. Leave the skin on. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender but not falling apart.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly on a baking sheet or wire rack for about 10 minutes to dry out excess moisture.
  4. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C). Drizzle 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil evenly across the surface.
  5. Place the potatoes spaced apart on the griddle. Using a potato masher or heavy spatula, press down firmly but gently until each potato is flattened to about ½ inch (1.3 cm) thickness.
  6. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the smashed potatoes. Cook undisturbed for 8-10 minutes until edges turn golden and crispy.
  7. While potatoes cook, melt 4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter in a small pan or microwave. Stir in 3-4 minced garlic cloves and ½ cup (50 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  8. Carefully flip each potato and brush generously with the garlic parmesan butter mixture. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese starts to crisp.
  9. Remove potatoes from the griddle and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if using. Serve hot.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the griddle to allow each potato enough space to crisp. Use a sturdy spatula to flip without breaking the potatoes. If garlic browns too fast, reduce heat to avoid bitterness. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based alternative and parmesan with nutritional yeast. A heavy cast-iron skillet can be used if a griddle is unavailable.
