Crispy Smashed Potatoes (Extra Easy)
Description
This recipe starts by boiling small potatoes in salted water until tender, then spacing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Each potato is smashed flat with a masher to increase surface area. Brushing them with olive oil and seasoning with garlic parsley salt prepares them for broiling.
Broiling crisps the potatoes to a golden brown with a crunchy exterior while keeping their inside soft. Adding toppings of grated Parmesan, crumbled bacon crisps, and freshly chopped herbs enhances savory flavor and texture contrasts. The dish serves as a side or snack featuring crispy edges and tender centers.
It is important to arrange potatoes apart on the sheet to allow crisping rather than steaming, and to watch the broiling closely to prevent burning. The final result is a simple yet flavorful way to elevate boiled potatoes by smashing and crisping them under the broiler.
Ingredients
- 12 potato small
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 cup bacon crisps
- 1/4 cup herbs chopped

Instructions
- Rinse the potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and boil until they are cooked. To check for doneness, gently poke a potato using a fork.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cooked potatoes on the baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between each one.
- Use a potato masher to smash each potato flat.
- Brush each smashed potato with olive oil and sprinkle on some garlic salt. Broil the potatoes in the oven until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Top each potato with bacon crisps, cheese and herbs.
