1
Prepare the Potatoes
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add 1 teaspoon of salt and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
2
Drain and Smash
On a greased baking sheet, place the potatoes and use a potato masher or the bottom of a sturdy cup to gently smash each potato until they are about ½ inch thick.
3
Season the Potatoes
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, and additional salt to taste over the potatoes.
4
Roast the Potatoes
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
5
Garnish and Serve
Remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle the freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese on top while they are still hot. Serve immediately.
