Tips
- Let the potatoes cool on the baking sheet when they come out of the oven. That way all the cheesy goodness sticks to the potatoes and they won’t fall apart.
- You can use mini red, yellow or purple potatoes or a mix of colors for a really pretty presentation.
- Feel free to use any seasonings you like on these Parmesan Smashed Potatoes such as a Greek seasoning with oregano and lemon zest.
- Use a vegan butter and non-dairy Parmesan cheese in this recipe if you are plant-based.
- Any creamy sauce will work as a dipping sauce for the Parmesan Smashed Potatoes. You can use sauces like my easy Tzatziki or Easy Ranch Dressing, labneh or garlic sauce.
- If the potato gets stuck onto the bottom of the glass, just take a knife and gently help it out.
- Before smashing, I like to brush the tops of the potatoes with a bit of the olive oil mixture which also helps prevent them from sticking.
- You have to boil the potatoes all the way through. They have to be completely soft as they will break if they are undercooked when you try to press them down with the bottom of the glass.
- Yes, you can certainly boil the potatoes ahead of time and then store in the fridge. I would smash and bake just before you are going to serve that way they’re super crispy
