Preparation

Step 1

In large saucepot, combine potatoes, 1 tablespoon salt and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Cover; heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat to medium-low. Uncover; simmer 30 minutes or until tender, adjusting heat to maintain simmer. Drain well.

Preheat oven to 450. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place each potato on cookie sheet and, with stiff, wide spatula, gently press on it until crushed but still intact. Spray tops of potatoes generously with cooking spray. Roast 25 minutes. Spray potatoes once more with cooking spray. Broil on High 2-5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and arrange on a serving platter. Drizzle with butter and sprinkle with parsley.
