Garlic Parmesan Smashed Potatoes - the best potatoes recipe ever with nicely smashed potatoes loaded with butter, garlic and Parmesan cheese. So good!
Thanksgiving is one week away and I’m sure many of you are finalizing your menu.
A side dish of potatoes is always a crowd pleaser and I have the perfect recipe for you.
These Garlic Parmesan Smashed Potatoes are epic and utterly delicious.
They were so good that I practically finished them myself.
I have many potatoes recipes, but smashed potatoes offer a completely different texture.
This recipe is adapted from The Slow Roasted Italian‘s cookbook “The Simple Kitchen.”
First the potatoes are boiled and then smashed flat.
They are then topped with the garlic butter and Parmesan cheese and then roasted in the oven.
So you have the best of everything: crispy edges from roasting, more surface of the potatoes are coated with the garlic butter and cheese.
Heavenly!
