Equipment
- 1 large pot to boil water
- 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes red or gold
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
- Add the potatoes to the pot and fill with water until they are just covered. Bring the water to a boil. Let the potatoes boil for about 20-30 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside, letting them sit for about 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Place the potatoes on the sheet pan, leaving room between each one.
- Using the bottom of a measuring cup, smash the potatoes until they are flat. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes, then lightly spray each potato with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle the parmesan evenly over the potatoes, then bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Cooking Tips
- The potatoes may take more or less time to boil, depending on how big they are.
- If you want your potatoes to have crispy edges, leave some space between each one on the sheet pan. You might have to work in batches.
- Leave the potatoes in the colander for about 10 minutes. This gives them a chance to dry a bit before adding the seasoning and oil, so everything sticks better.
- Smash them gently, I like to use a measuring cup because it has a wide flat bottom, and a spatula just in case they stick.
- Don't skip the oil, because it will help them crisp! I use a little bit of olive oil cooking spray, or mix the olive oil and seasoning together and brush it onto the potatoes.
