Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Serve immediately.

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.

CRISPY GARLIC SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Prep potatoes: Boil potatoes in well-salted water in their skin until fork-tender. Drain well.
• Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Have a rimmed baking sheet ready (if you want to line the baking sheet for easier clean up, use aluminum foil, NOT parchment, or the potatoes won't get crispy).
• Season potatoes: Toss hot potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Transfer to prepared baking sheet, including any oil remaining at the bottom of the bowl.
• Smash potatoes: Using a potato masher, a measuring cup or the bottom of a sturdy glass, push down on each potato to smash it.
• Bake: Place a small piece of butter on each potato and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden crispy. Serve immediately.

TRULY CRISPY SMASHED POTATOES WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425F or 225C
• Bring a large pot of water to the boil, then add the potatoes to it and cook until just cooked but not super soft (they will continue to cook in the oven) it will take about 15-25 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
• While the potatoes are cooking mix the oil and garlic together.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and then place the potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Using a potato masher or a fork 'smash' the top of the potatoes. I like to rough them up a little with a fork and remove a little of the skin on top, this ensures more crispy bits when they are cooked.
• Evenly drizzle the olive oil (or use a silicone brush) on the top of the potatoes, then season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle on the fresh thyme leaves, then immediately place the baking sheet into the hot oven.
• Bake for about 20-35 minutes, or until the top of the potatoes are good and crispy! Serve immediately, the crispiness will not be as good once the potatoes start to cool, or if they have to be reheated later on.
