1
Prepare Potatoes
Wash and scrub the Red Bliss potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.
2
Boil Potatoes
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
3
Drain and Cool
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle.
4
Smash Potatoes
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the potatoes and gently smash each one with the back of a fork or a potato masher.
5
Add Toppings
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle this mixture over the smashed potatoes.
6
Bake
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the smashed potatoes for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and crispy.
7
Finish with Cheese
Remove from the oven, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
8
Serve
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm as a delightful side dish.
