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!

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 lbs. baby potatoes
- 3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (Italian parsley preferred)
