These potatoes are easy to make and are good enough for holiday or special meals. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
2 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes
A light spray of olive oil
3 T. melted butter
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 T. chopped fresh parsley plus more for garnish
kosher salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
2 T. Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to broil. Lightly spray a large baking dish or tray with non-stick olive oil spray.
Scrub potatoes; peel and crush garlic; chop parsley.
Place potatoes in a large pot of well salted water; bring to boil; cook, covered for 30-35 minutes or until just fork-tender; drain well.
Place potatoes on baking sheet; use a potato masher to lightly flatten the potatoes in one piece, being careful to not do too hard or they will end up mashed. You don't want them too flat.
Mix together butter, garlic and parsley; evenly pour over each potato; sprinkle with salt and pepper; lightly spray with olive oil spray.
Broil until golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle on Parmesan cheese; return to the oven and broil until cheese is melted.
Serve immediately seasoned with a little extra salt and parsley, if desired.
