Garlic Butter Smashed Potatoes

One of my most favorites foods on this planet are POTATOES. The possibilities of what you can make with them are endless. My favorite way to cookie up potatoes whether it’s breakfast home fries, mashed potatoes, or homemade French fries… it’s adding garlic!! AND lots of butter and olive oil. I of course love to season them with salt and pepper as well.
