Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes such as red potatoes or Yukon Gold
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 18-22 minutes or until tender.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray. Drain the potatoes and place them in a single layer on the pan.
- Use the bottom of a glass or a potato masher to carefully flatten each potato.
- Place the butter, garlic, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Stir to combine.
- Drizzle the butter mixture over each potato. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
Notes
- Any type of baby potato will work in this recipe, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. I don’t recommend using larger potatoes that have been cut into smaller pieces, as they’ll fall apart when you try to smash them.
- I typically use the bottom of a drinking glass to smash my potatoes. You can also use the flat end of a meat mallet, a potato masher or a measuring cup. Try to gently smash the potato so that it flattens, but stays in one piece.
