Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large pot. Cover with cold water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain and Smash
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and let them sit for a few minutes to cool slightly. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the potatoes and gently smash each one with the bottom of a glass or a potato masher until they are flattened but not falling apart.
Garnish and Serve
Remove the potatoes from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley and parmesan cheese, and serve hot.
