This TikTok recipe takes traditional roast potatoes to a whole new level with a bit of help from parmesan cheese. Everything tastes better with cheese after all!
These crispy potatoes are the perfect side dish for every dinner.
Ingredients include: potatoes, parmesan and garlic.
@createaplatewithdina Smashed Garlic-Parmesan Potatoes✨ 1.5 lbs baby potatoes 2 Tbs avocado or neutral oil 3 tbs butter, softened 1 tsp garlic salt 3 garlic cloves, pressed 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated Garnish: Freshly chopped parsley Freshly grated Parmesan cheese Sour cream Dipping Sauce: 3/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup heavy cream 1-2 Tbs pickle juice (or lemon juice) 1 scallion, chopped 1 Tbs fresh parsley, chopped 1 Tbs fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dry dill) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper 1. Wash potatoes, place into pot, fill with cold water with 1 inch of water being above the potatoes. Bring to a boil, salt the water with a generous amount of salt. Boil until fork tender. Drain potatoes. 2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place potatoes on a baking sheet that’s covered with parchment paper or foil. Allow the potatoes to rest 5 mins then pour 2 Tbs oil over the potatoes and coat each potato with the oil by rubbing with hands. 3. Next, to “smash” the potatoes, press down on each potato with the bottom of a mug or glass cup. 4. Now make the garlic Parmesan butter by combining softened butter, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, pressed garlic, and 1 tsp garlic salt. Mix together then evenly distribute the butter by placing a small amount of butter on each smashed potato. Spread the butter on top of each potato and place the baking sheet into the oven to bake for 35-45 minutes or until potatoes are crispy at the top. 5. Meanwhile, make the sour cream dipping sauce. In a bowl combine sour cream, heavy whipping cream, pickle juice, freshly chopped parsley, freshly chopped dill, chopped scallion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix together. If the dipping sauce is too thick, add more pickle juice to reach the desired consistency. Refrigerate while you wait for the potatoes. 6. Once the potatoes are done, removed from the oven and garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. 7. Place smashed potatoes on a serving platter and immediately serve with the sour cream dipping sauce.
