Crispy smashed potatoes are delicious, golden brown, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and these have an extra crispy layer of broiled Parmesan cheese on top. There are a few extra steps involved, but they are absolutely worth the effort.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pounds (1 1/2 - to 2-inch) red skinned potatoes (12 to 16 small potatoes): 1 piece
  • olive oil: 2 Tbsp (divided)
  • salt: 0.5 tsp (divided)
  • ground black pepper: 0.5 tsp (divided)
  • ounces Parmesan cheese, finely shredded (about 3/4 cup): 3 piece
  • fresh Italian parsley: 2 Tbsp (minced)
