Baked potatoes have always been a trusted comfort food. When baked in the oven, their tender flesh is the perfect blank canvas to top with endless ingredient combinations. Going beyond the standard baked potato meal, these garlic smashed potatoes & baked beans are based on that idea–but this recipe uses miniature baked potatoes that are piled with flavorful, homemade baked beans and a golden garlic butter sauce that is ridiculously delicious. These tender potato bites are roasted until soft, and smashed with the golden garlic butter with a side of baked beans. Coated in this savory sauce with a hint of maple flavor, the glazed baked beans are the perfect complement to the savory garlic butter that coats the potatoes.
Everything is seasoned naturally without artificial flavorings, trans fats, or processed ingredients. It is a filling and satisfying meal, containing complex carbohydrates and protein. Plus, pretty much anything is amazing when drenched with this garlic butter. :)

- 5 pounds of small potatoes
- Golden Garlic Butter Recipe: http://simplesweetsandtreats.com/golden-garlic-butter/
- 2 cups canned pinto beans (or any bean that you would like to use)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups water
- 3 tbsp. ketchup
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. mustard powder
- 1 tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tbsp. GF flour
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, then wash the potatoes. Line them on a baking sheet and cook for 45 minutes to an hour depending on the oven. Prepare the garlic butter, and set aside. Drain and rinse the beans and set aside, then add the water to a medium saucepan. Once boiling, add the rest of the ingredients (except for the beans and garlic) ending with the flour and whisk everything together until sauce thickens. Add the garlic and the beans to this sauce mixture and simmer on low, about five minutes. Once the potatoes have finished cooking, smash them with a fork and drizzle with the garlic butter, and top with the baked beans. Enjoy!
Thank you for this recipe! Baked potatoes with baked beans are a weekly staple at our house. It’s so great to find a healthy recipe so I don’t have to use canned baked beans!!
I’m so glad that this homemade baked beans recipe can be useful for you! They are so much better made from scratch instead of canned! :) You could also probably make this using dried beans in a slow-cooker with the same ingredients but some more liquid.
