How to make roasted smashed potatoes with garlic and parmesan – Best Tips & Tricks
1. How to smash them
2. Try different toppings and herbs.
I topped these garlic smashed potatoes with parmesan but you can change that with your favorite cheese. Almost all kinds of cheese fit perfectly.
And here are a few good ideas:
Mozzarella
Gruyere
Cheddar
Blue Cheese
More than that, you could also change the herbs. Try it with thyme, oregano or Italian spices. Any of them will make them crazy delish.
Oh, and you can also throw some crumbled crispy bacon on top which will add tons of flavor and texture.
3. What to serve with garlic smashed potatoes.
Well, I could make an endless list here because they are perfect with so many dishes. This is one of the things I love most about them.
But I will keep it short and just list a few of my favorites:
* Grilled or Roasted Chicken
* Baked salmon or any white fish
* Whole Roasted Chicken
* Burgers
* Salads
4. What sauce should you serve them with
I served these Parmesan smashed potatoes with a dollop of sour cream and fresh chopped basil. I highly recommend that!
But if sour cream is not your cup of tea, you can try any of the following:
* Homemade Basil Pesto
* Tomato Sauce
* Garlic Mayo
* Tzatziki Sauce
If you follow the tips and tricks outlined above, you will surely make the best roasted smashed potatoes ever.
Now, I don’t want to keep you any longer, as I am sure you can practically feel the taste of garlic parmesan in your mouth.
So let’s wrap it up and fire up the ovens, shall we?
