Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes Yukon Gold or Carisma
- 1 spray olive oil
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 pinch salt to taste
- 1 pinch pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to broil (or grill) settings to medium-high heat (about 200°C | 400°F).
- Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to the boil; cook, covered for 30-35 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain well.
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet or tray with cooking oil spray. Arrange potatoes onto the sheet and use a potato masher to LIGHTLY flatten the potatoes in one piece (not too hard or they will end up mashed).
- Mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Pour the mixture over each potato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
- Broil (or grill) until they are golden and crispy (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from oven, sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted.
- To serve, season with a little extra salt and parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes
- Tip: Make sure you don't forget to salt your water to ensure your potatoes absorb as much flavour as possible.
