Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. These Parmesan and Garlic Smashed Potatoes, make for an awesome side dish, or if you dare, a super main meal too.
There can never be ‘too many ways’ to serve this humble little tuber right? And These smashed potatoes, belong right up there in your recipe archives, together with my Tangy Mashed Potato , Potato Hotties or the Easy Roast Potatoes. During the summer holidays, These smashed potatoes, were marvellous paired with my leg of lamb roast, and the rest of the trimmings. But, rest assured, these smashed potatoes, will make a great accompaniment to almost any main meal, be it grilled meats, roast chicken or grilled seafood.
I like adding garlic and parmesan to my smashed potatoes, but you may choose to omit them if you please, and make them simple and regular. Adding in fresh chopped thyme/rosemary or even the dried version of these herbs, adds more flavour to a simple side dish.
Have you tried Smashed Potatoes before???
If not, then do give this one a try, it will soon be a favourite on your festive tables.
I look forward to hearing from you, drop me a pic or comment, when you try this.
Happy ‘Potato Smashing’ Lovelies

Notes by Foodeva Marsay
> You could opt to use bigger potatoes, simply adjust seasoning accordingly
> The Baby potatoes can also be boiled instead of steamed in a microwave, until tender. IF BOILING potatoes, season them with all ingredients, after boiling and before you grill them.
> You can also drizzle more butter when done and add a dollop of sour cream when serving.
