Crispy Smashed Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound baby Yukon Gold potatoes (about 12-16)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary (chopped )
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2. 2

   In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and let the potatoes cool slightly.

3. 3

   Transfer the potatoes to a large rimmed baking sheet. Use a potato masher or the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to press down on the potatoes to smash them.

4. 4

   Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil, then add the garlic, rosemary, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Toss with your hands to combine.

5. 5

   Bake for 15 minutes until the bottoms are golden. Use a spatula to flip the potatoes and add more salt, pepper, and olive oil, if desired. Return to the oven for 12–15 more minutes until the potatoes are crispy.
