- 1 lb (454 g) baby potatoes
- 1 cup (240 ml) cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 tbsps (60 ml) butter
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) olive oil
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) garlic (minced)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- Fresh chives (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Potato Preparation: Boil whole potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, then drain and cool briefly.
- Potato Smashing: Gently flatten potatoes using a fork, creating rustic surfaces with intricate cracks and textural details.
- Potato Seasoning: Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, and dried herbs for enhanced flavor profile.
- Potato Crisping: Griddle potatoes on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, developing golden-brown crispy edges.
- Cheese Melting: Sprinkle cheddar cheese over potatoes during final cooking moments, allowing complete melting and coverage.
- Steak Preparation: Melt butter in separate pan, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add seasoned steak cubes.
- Steak Cooking: Sear steak bites 2-3 minutes per side, achieving medium-rare doneness with caramelized exterior.
- Final Assembly: Transfer sizzling steak bites atop crispy cheese-covered potatoes, garnish with fresh chives and parsley.
- Serving: Present immediately while ingredients remain hot, crispy, and bursting with robust flavors.
Notes
- Potato Boiling Technique: Ensure potatoes are fully submerged in salted water for even cooking and enhanced flavor absorption.
- Smashing Strategy: Use a fork or masher with gentle pressure to create textural surfaces that maximize crispy edges and cheese-holding crevices.
- Temperature Precision: Maintain medium-high heat around 400°F for perfect golden-brown potato exterior and proper steak searing.
- Doneness Check: Cook steak bites 2-3 minutes per side for consistent medium-rare, preventing overcooking and maintaining tender texture.
