Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Prep Potatoes
In a large saucepan over high heat, place potatoes in enough water to cover; bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender. Drain and let cool slightly.
Prep Garlic Butter
In a small frying pan over medium-low heat, combine butter, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper; melt butter, and mix well.
Pulling it together
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
Place potatoes on baking sheet.
Using a large spoon or the heel of your hand, gently press down on each potato to smash it, so it ends up about 1/2-inch thick. Make sure to keep each potato in one piece.
Brush mixture over potatoes, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are crispy and golden. Enjoy.
