Smashed Potatoes Ingredients

Method

Smashed Potatoes Directions

  1. 1

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the baby potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    While the potatoes are boiling, preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

  3. 3

    Prepare the Garlic and Rosemary

    Mince the garlic and chop the fresh rosemary.

  4. 4

    Drain and Smash

    Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and place them on a baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to gently smash each potato.

  5. 5

    Season the Potatoes

    Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, and sprinkle with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.

  7. 7

    Add Cheese

    Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
