Broiled Snapper With Smashed Potatoes Recipes

CRISPY GARLIC BUTTER PARMESAN SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to broil (or grill) settings to medium-high heat (about 200°C | 400°F).
• Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to the boil; cook, covered for 30-35 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain well.
• Lightly grease a large baking sheet or tray with cooking oil spray. Arrange potatoes onto the sheet and use a potato masher to LIGHTLY flatten the potatoes in one piece (not too hard or they will end up mashed).
• Mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Pour the mixture over each potato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
• Broil (or grill) until they are golden and crispy (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from oven, sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted.
• To serve, season with a little extra salt and parsley, and serve immediately.

GARLIC SMASHED POTATOES

Using a flat dry measuring cup or glass, carefully smash the potatoes until flattened but still in one piece. Top with olive oil, garlic and thyme. Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.
