Parmesan Smashed Potatoes

By lynnieb93

Ingredients

• 6 Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and cut into quarters
• 1 cup grated Grana Padano cheese
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 bunch of chopped flat leaf parsley

Preparation

Step 1

1. Steam potatoes in a stovetop steamer until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively place them in a pot with a lid and add 2 or 3 inches of water to the bottom. Steaming cooks faster and leaves more nutrients and flavour in the potato than boiling.
2. Place potatoes into a large bowl and add cheese, olive oil and salt and pepper. Mash away, adding more oil if you prefer a thinner consistency. Stir in the parsley just before serving.
