Garlic Parmesan Smashed Potatoes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Place the cooked potatoes on the baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Use a potato masher or the bottom of a glass to gently smash each potato until it is about 1/2 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, and salt and pepper. Brush the mixture over the smashed potatoes, making sure to get some in the nooks and crannies.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
