Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 medium sized red potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 3 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Scrub potatoes clean, then dry well, then place them in a large bowl with olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes (depending on their size), or until tender when poked with a fork.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and turn the heat to 450 degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut an “x” on the top of each potato. Use the bottom of a glass to smash the potato, exposing the inside, but keeping the skin on the bottom intact as much as possible.
  • Drizzle butter over the top of each smashed potato and then sprinkle with herbs, and more salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until edges are crisp and browned.
  • Remove from the oven, cool for 5 minutes, and then sprinkle with fresh parmesan cheese.
