Hey everyone, it's Natasha of natashaskitchen.com. We're cooking up a family
favorite! These smashed potatoes are crisp on the outside with a creamy enter and
an irresistible cheesy crust. I've washed two pounds of small potatoes and we're
using a mix of red and yellow. Bring a medium pot of water to boil and add two
teaspoons of salt. Carefully add the potatoes then reduce the heat to a low
boil and cook about 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and easily
pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes and it's a good time to pre-heat your
oven to 450˚F. Transfer the potatoes onto a lined baking sheet
evenly spaced and we're gonna mash them. You can use either a potato masher or
the smooth side of a drinking glass. Mash them to about 1/2 inch thickness,
pressing gently so you don't break the potatoes apart. Now drizzle all over the
tops with olive oil and season generously with garlic salt and freshly
cracked black pepper. Be generous with that garlic salt if you love crisp salty
potato skins, it makes them taste like campfire
potatoes. They are addictively delicious! Bake at 450˚F for about
15 minutes or until the bottoms are golden. Now quickly flip the potatoes
season with more garlic salt, black pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
And again don't be shy with that garlic salt.
Back into the oven they go for 12 to 15 minutes or until the outsides are crisp
and golden brown. When the potatoes are all baked up, I'll sprinkle about 3/4 cup
of Parmesan cheese over the tops and bake another 3 minutes just to melt that
cheese. Wo-hoo, it's a good moment! We get to do the taste test and right before
serving or right when they come out of the oven I sprinkle with some fresh
parsley, give it a pretty pop of color and flavor. There we go..., beautiful and
delicious. Okay, so let's pick the crispiest one! I love how they're like
sizzling right when they come out of the oven and they've got that golden crust,
both on top and bottom. They are fantastic so let's do this.
Mm-hmm..., that's what I'm talking about! These are so good, they've got that crisp
cheesy crust and crunchy all around the outsides. Seriously guys, these disappear
so fast so I gotta go like find a corner to eat these in because they're gonna
fly off this platter. If you guys enjoyed this recipe, give me a great big thumbs
