Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about an inch. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes, until comfortable to handle.
Step 5
Place the cooked potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using the flat side of a large spatula or the bottom of a glass, gently press down on each potato to flatten them to about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 6
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and browned.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
Step 9
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Step 10
Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
