Ingredients
  

  • how ever many potatoes you want any variety (I used red skin)
  • olive oil or whatever kind you like
  • butter
  • garlic powder
  • dried parsley
  • salt
  • Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
  • Massage your potatoes in olive oil, and place them on a lined cookie sheet. Do Give your potatoes lots of room, you do not want to cram your potatoes too close to each other.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, or until tender.
  • Pull them out of the oven, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • This is the tricky part, smashing the potato. If you just take a mallet and smash the potato, you will get a huge mess! You want to gently cut a slit from top to bottom (do not pierce through to the bottom). Then turn the potato and make 3 small slits . That's 1 cut down and 3 cuts across.
  • Now, take your fork and starting from the inside out, smoosh the potato until you get a smashed potato looking like a UFO.
  • Add a tsp. of butter to the middle of each potato and sprinkle with desired seasonings.
  • Place potatoes back in the oven on BROIL and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve!
