FB Source: SplenDishes by Shonali

Ingredients:

Baby or Red Potatoes

Oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

Fresh Herbs

Garlic

Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

1. Boil some baby potatoes (I used red) until fork tender. 
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. 
3. Drizzle olive oil on a baking sheet, set potatoes on sheet and using a potato masher, gently smash each potato down, rotating masher both ways (so it looks like a thick cookie). 
4. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt/pepper and sprinkle cut fresh herbs and garlic over each. THEN top with some lovely grated Parmesan cheese. 
5. Bake for 20 minutes.

These were the most delicious potatoes I've ever had, I swear! In Australia their called Crash Hot Potatoes, I don't know why (any Australians have some insight?), whatever the name, they were SO awesome! And super simple. OMG...crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, salty, garlicky, herby and cheesy goodness. I need to make more now!!
