Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red)
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the baby potatoes and boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let dry.
  3. Place each potato on a parchment-lined baking sheet and gently smash them to about ½ inch thick.
  4. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, dried herbs, and parmesan cheese. Drizzle this mixture over each smashed potato evenly.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

Serve as a side to roasted chicken or steak. Garnish with fresh parsley for added color. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3-4 days and reheated in the oven.
