parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated cheddar cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Rinse the small potatoes in water.

Place the rinsed potatoes in a pot and cover them with cold water.

Add salt to the water and bring it to a boil on the stove.

Boil the potatoes until they are tender enough to easily pierce with a spoon.

Drain the potatoes in a strainer and let them sit to remove excess moisture.

Use a mason jar or rolling pin to smash each potato gently.

Arrange the smashed potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Drizzle olive oil over each smashed potato.

Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper, or any other preferred seasonings.

Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C).

Monitor the potatoes as they roast until they become crispy, which may take about 30 minutes.

If necessary, increase the oven temperature to 450°F (232°C) to achieve crispiness.

Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
