Description
Give boring potatoes a facelift by smashing, adding butter and herbs, and roasting until they are perfectly crisp!
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 medium sized red potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon basil leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- pinch of salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Scrub potatoes clean, then dry well, then place them in a large bowl with olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes (depending on their size), or until tender when poked with a fork.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and turn the heat to 450 degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut an “x” on the top of each potato. Use the bottom of a glass to smash the potato, exposing the inside, but keeping the skin on the bottom intact as much as possible.
- Drizzle butter over the top of each smashed potato and then sprinkle with herbs, and more salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until edges are crisp and browned.
- Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes, and then sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese.
