Crispy Crushed Potatoes in the Oven

Who would refuse oven-baked crispy potatoes with a soft center ?! You can try thousands of delicious dishes, but I think that hardly anyone can resist baked potatoes. And even with a divine garlic aroma! I propose an unusual, but very simple recipe for how to cook potatoes in the oven.

Summary

Ingredients

• Small or medium potatoes – 10 pcs.
• Hard cheese – 15-20 g
• Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp
• Dried garlic – to taste
• Salt to taste
• Ground black pepper – to taste
• Chopped greens (dill and parsley) – 1 tbsp

Instructions

1. Wash the potatoes well and boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water until tender (over low heat, 20-25 minutes).
2. Turn on and preheat the oven. Put the boiled potatoes in a baking dish. Gently crush the potatoes with a pusher or other plane.
3. Brush potatoes with vegetable oil. Season lightly, sprinkle generously with dried garlic and black pepper.
   Bake crushed potatoes in the oven on the upper level at 230 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.
4. Remove potatoes from the oven, turn over to the other side. Grease with vegetable oil, salt and pepper, sprinkle with garlic. Bake for another 10-12 minutes.
5. Then sprinkle the baked potatoes with grated cheese (I have Parmesan) and bake the potatoes in the oven for another 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

   

6. Sprinkle the finished crushed baked potatoes with finely chopped herbs.
