While these roasted smashed potatoes make the perfect holiday side dish, they are so easy that you will want to make them regularly on weeknights. These pair perfectly with so many main dishes.
Shredding Cheese From a Block
This recipe uses a combination of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. I highly recommend shredding your own cheese from a block for this recipe rather than buying pre-shredded cheese. Because pre-shredded cheese is covered in preservatives to prevent it from clumping in the bag, shredding your own from a block will melt and taste so much better.
Boil the potatoes. Add the whole potatoes to a pot of boiling water and cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain the potatoes.Smash the potatoes. Put the cooked potatoes on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Using a fork, potato masher, or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until it cracks.Season the potatoes. Combine the melted butter with the other seasonings and pour the mixture over the potatoes. Then top them with the shredded cheeses.Bake the potatoes. Put them in the oven and bake until the cheese is gooey and melted, 10-15 minutes.
