Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  2. Place 2 pounds yellow baby potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook 10–15 minutes, until a fork easily pierces the potatoes. Drain well.
  3. Arrange the potatoes in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Carefully smash each potato with a potato masher so each is flattened but still holds together.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup melted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tablespoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix.
  6. Spoon or drizzle the butter mixture evenly over the smashed potatoes, spreading it into crevices as needed.
  7. Bake 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy at the edges.
  8. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish, and serve.
