Description

Ingredients

• 2 lbs | 1kg potatoes Yukon Gold or Carisma
• A light spray of olive oil
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
• Kosher Salt and Black Pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese

Directions

• Pre-heat your oven to broil (or grill) settings to medium-high heat (about 200°C | 400°F).
• Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to the boil; cook, covered for 30-35 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain well.
• 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 (not too hard or they will end up mashed).
• 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.
• Broil (or grill) until they are golden and crispy (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from oven, sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted.
• To serve, season with a little extra salt and parsley, and serve immediately.
