Savory, herby, crispy, smashed red potatoes are the envy of every other side dish! Every bite is a flavor bomb of crispy edges on the outside and soft, fluffy textures on the inside. Seasoned with buttery garlic, parmesan, and rosemary. This is a recipe that keeps it simple - made from start to finish on one sheet pan!
Place clean potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Spread potatoes onto a baking sheet. Place in a 400-degree oven for 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
While the potatoes bake, mix the melted butter, garlic, and dried rosemary in a small bowl. (see note 1)
Meanwhile, mix the butter, rosemary and garlic in a small bowl.
When potatoes are tender, gently press down to “smash” each potato with a potato masher or large fork.
Using a pastry brush, generously brush each potato with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Return the pan to the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the broken edges of the potato crisp and begin to turn light brown.
Serve immediately.
