Crispy garlic parmesan smashed potatoes that are cozy, crunchy, and a crowd-pleaser for any meal.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender.
  2. Drain and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
  3. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  4. Arrange the potatoes on the pan with space between them.
  5. Using a cup, gently press down on each potato to flatten without mushing them.
  6. Drizzle olive oil on top of the potatoes.
  7. Scatter minced garlic over the potatoes, then sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on each one.
  8. Season with salt and black pepper.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  10. If needed, bake for an additional 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
  11. Remove from the oven and garnish with parsley or chives before serving.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, let the potatoes steam-dry after draining them. You can also add chili flakes or smoked paprika for a flavor twist.
