• 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.

• To the same bowl you tossed the potatoes in oil (don't wipe out) add butter and melt in the microwave. Stir in ¼ teaspoon salt and all remaining seasonings. Drizzle potatoes evenly with butter mixture. If you have extra, wait a few minutes for the potatoes to absorb the butter then coat again.
