Equipment

  • 1 Large Saucepan
  • 1 fork
  • 1 Baking Tray
  • 1 potato masher or measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • fingerling potatoes (any mini potatoes will do)
  • butter
  • salt
  • garlic powder
  • parmesan
  • parsley dried or finely chopped fresh
  • chives finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Preheat the oven to 425.
  • Add the potatoes to the pot, and boil until just fork tender. Drain the pan.
  • Lay the potatoes on a baking pan and gently smash them with a potato masher or the back of a measuring cup to flatten them, but keeping them in 1 thick piece.
  • Spread the potatoes apart and lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake for about 20 minutes or until crispy.
  • Spread butter over each potato so it melts. Sprinkle with salt, garlic, and parmesan cheese.
  • Set oven to broil and move rack up to the highest spot. Broil for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and crispy, rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Enjoy!
