- 2 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
How to make Crispy Smashed Potatoes with Rosemary and Parmesan
- Wash the 2 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to season the potatoes from within.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. They should be easily pierced but not falling apart.
- While the potatoes are simmering, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Drain the cooked potatoes thoroughly in a colander and let them sit for a few minutes to allow any excess steam to evaporate. This helps them get crispier later.
- Arrange the tender potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one. Using the bottom of a sturdy glass or a potato masher, gently smash each potato until it is about 1/2-inch thick, creating a rough, craggy surface.
- Drizzle the 1/4 cup olive oil evenly over the smashed potatoes. Sprinkle them with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and additional salt to taste.
- Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and very crispy on the edges. Flip them once halfway through baking if desired for even crispness.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes and return them to the oven for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Serve the crispy smashed potatoes immediately as a delicious side dish. A final sprinkle of fresh rosemary is optional for garnish.
