Method
Smashed Red Potatoes Preparation
Drain and Cool
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes until they can be handled.
Smash the Potatoes
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the potatoes and gently smash them with a fork or potato masher until they are flattened but not completely broken apart.
Season and Drizzle
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this mixture over the smashed potatoes.
Bake
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake the smashed potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
Add Parmesan
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese has melted.
Serve
Serve the smashed red potatoes warm, garnished with additional rosemary if desired.
