Crispy SMASHED POTATOES - Easy Side Dish!

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.
