Garlic and Parmesan Smashed Potatoes

Garlic and Parmesan Smashed Potatoes
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Potatoes, garlic, and salty cheese…need I say more?! These Garlic and Parmesan Smashed Potatoes are crispy and buttery with the perfect amount of saltiness…you’re going to love them! 

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times…sometimes simpler is better. Nothing could be truer when it comes to this recipe. It’s a handful of tasty ingredients that come together to create the most irresistible potatoes. Seriously…they’re that good. 

Tips for cooking Garlic and Parmesan Smashed Potatoes: 
  • Use petite potatoes; two bites tops. I can typically find a small bag with a medley at my local grocery store (red and gold potatoes). Fingerling potatoes would also work wonderfully in this recipe as well. 
  • I use a large skillet to smash my potatoes. You can also use a potato masher (ironically, I do not own one) or another cookie sheet stacked on top. 
  • I like to slightly undercook my potatoes, as it helps them to retain their shape. 
  • I have yet to figure out the best technique for “tossing” the potatoes in all the yummy toppings. I find it easier to simply toss them while they’re on the cookie sheet, but it could also work just as well to toss them in a bowl. 
  • This recipe calls for olive oil, but you can also use canola or grapeseed oil. 

That’s about it! These potatoes are just so darn tasty. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do! 🙂

Ingredients
  

  • 24 oz. baby potatoes rinsed
  • 3 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp. fresh parsley chopped
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • While the oven preheats, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the rinsed baby potatoes to the pot and boil for 15 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and place them on a nonstick baking sheet. Using a potato masher or a large skillet, gently press down on the potatoes until they start to split and flatted. They should be about 2 inch thick. Repeat until all the potatoes have been smashed.
  • Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese, parsley and salt. Gently toss the potatoes to evenly coat.
  • Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes until they are gold brown. Serve immediately.
