Instructions

Boil the potatoes in heavily salted water, until done or almost done - they should be juuuust fork tender, not more.
20 small potatoes, fine table salt
Preheat the oven to 440°F (225°C) and line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.
Melt the butter and mix in minced garlic and Worcestershire sauce.
¼ cup butter, 3 garlic cloves, 3 drops Worcestershire sauce
Spread out the potatoes on the lined baking sheet and smash them with the back of a spoon or spatula. Brush them with the garlic-infused butter (try not to get the pieces of garlic on the potatoes) and season with black pepper and sea salt flakes. Bake in the middle of the ovenfor 15 minutes, until the top of the potatoes looks a bit crispy.
You can prepare your potatoes until this point and finish them in 5-7 minutes just before serving.
½ teaspoon sea salt flakes, ½ ground black pepper
Top the smashed potatoes with shredded parmesan. Return to the oven and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until crispy and golden.
⅓ cup shredded parmesan cheese
Top with parsley and serve.
