Cheesy Garlic Butter Potatoes

The baby potatoes are boiled on the stovetop, smashed and covered in garlic butter and cheese. Then you bake these cheese-covered garlic butter potatoes in the oven so the cheese melts and the butter soaks into the potatoes.

You want a mixture of great flavor and great reliability here. A mixture of any of these will be great:

• Mozzarella

• Colby/Colby Jack

• Monterey Jack

• Gruyere

• Cheddar

• Provolone

• Tasty Cheese (for those in Australia)

How to cook baby potatoes

The potatoes are boiled whole for 15 minutes and then roasted briefly before having the toppings added.

The boiling allows the potatoes to soften so the inside is nice and fluffy. They are lightly squashed to create come cracks and early bits. This means when they go into the hot oven they start to get some nice crispy edges.

When you pour it over the garlic butter soaks into all of those cracks creating garlic bread-style potatoes!!! Once they have been given a sprinkling (well maybe a more generous than a sprinkling) of cheese they go back in the oven for another 10 minutes until it everything is gooey, oozy, and melted.
