ingredients
- 800 grams potatoes
- fine salt for potato water
- 50 grams butter
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- a few drops of Worcestershire sauce
- sea salt flakes & ground black pepper
- 30 grams shredded parmesan
- Chopped parsley
Method
Step 1
Cook the potatoes in heavily salted water - use 1 Tbsp for 1.5 liters or 6 cups of water. Cook until just finished, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the oven to 225 C/440 F. Melt the butter and mix in the minced garlic and the Worcestershire sauce.
Step 3
Place the potatoes on a baking sheet on an oven tray and smash them with a large fork or spoon. Brush them with the garlic-infused butter (try not to get the pieces of garlic on the potatoes) and season with a bit of black pepper and sea salt flakes. Place in the middle of the oven and cook for 15 minutes, until the top of the potatoes is starting to look a bit crispy.
Step 4
You can prepare your potatoes until this point and finish them in 5-7 minutes just before serving. Top the smashed potatoes with the shredded parmesan. Return to the oven and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until crispy and golden. Top with parsley and serve.
