Parmesan Smashed Potatoes
Crispy, garlicky smashed potatoes with Parmesan are immensely snackable. They're a great side dish or late night snack.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds small yellow and/or red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic or garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes, then drain. Coat a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon of oil and set aside.
- Use tongs to transfer the very hot potatoes to the oiled baking sheet. Use the back of a heavy measuring cup to smash each potato. (They should be about ¼ inch thick.)
- Drizzle the potatoes generously with the remaining oil and melted butter. Sprinkle with salt, garlic, and pepper. Sprinkle with about a teaspoon of parsley.
- Roast for 30 minutes, until browned and crispy on the edges. Remove from the oven, and top with Parmesan cheese. Roast for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle generously with parsley. Serve warm.
