Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Smash

    Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. On a baking sheet, place the potatoes and gently smash them with the back of a fork or a potato masher.

  4. 4

    Season and Bake

    Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary, sea salt, and grated Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your smashed potatoes hot!
