These crispy baked smashed potatoes are golden on the outside and soft on the inside, flavored with garlic and Parmesan for a crunchy side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds small to medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
