Crispy smashed potatoes topped with melted cheese, perfect for a savory side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb small potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper (or to taste)
  • Shredded Roth Gouda cheese (enough to cover the potatoes)

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.
  2. Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly grease a large non-stick baking sheet or sheet pan.
  3. Arrange the cooked potatoes on the baking sheet. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato until smashed.
  4. Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, and season with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes and sprinkle them with shredded cheese. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted, and the potatoes are golden and crispy.
  6. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
