Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Potatoes Yukon Gold or Carisma
  • 1 spray Olive oil For greasing
  • 3 tablespoons Butter Melted
  • 4 cloves Garlic Crushed
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley Chopped
  • 1 pinch Salt To taste
  • 1 pinch Pepper To taste
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to broil (or grill) settings to medium-high heat (about 200°C | 400°F).
  2. Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to the boil; cook, covered for 30 to 35 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain well.
  3. Lightly grease a large baking sheet or tray with cooking oil spray. Arrange potatoes onto the sheet and use a potato masher to LIGHTLY flatten the potatoes in one piece.
  4. Mix together the butter, garlic, and parsley. Pour the mixture over each potato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
  5. Broil (or grill) until they are golden and crispy (about 10 to 15 minutes). Remove from oven, sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted.
  6. To serve, season with a little extra salt and parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tip: Make sure you don’t forget to salt your water to ensure your potatoes absorb as much flavour as possible.
