Tips:
- For the best flavor, use Yukon Gold potatoes, as they are known for their creamy texture and buttery flavor.
- Make sure to pierce the potatoes with a fork before boiling them, as this will help them cook evenly.
- Do not overcook the potatoes, as they should still have a slight bite to them when you smash them.
- Use a sturdy potato masher to smash the potatoes, as a regular fork may not be strong enough.
- Be generous with the garlic and butter, as these ingredients are what give the potatoes their signature flavor.
- If you don't have fresh garlic on hand, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
- Serve the potatoes immediately after they are smashed, as they are best when they are hot and crispy.
