Ingredients

  • 2 pounds small red potatoes, 1-1/2 to 2-inches in diameter
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, minced
  • grated Parmesan cheese to taste
  • kosher salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Adjust oven racks by placing each on the top and lowest position. Heat oven to 450 F.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange potatoes, add water and wrap tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Cook on the lowest rack for about 25 to 30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of potato slips in and out easily.

  • Drizzle 3 tablespoons of oil over potatoes and roll to coat. 
  • Allow space between potatoes and with a potato masher, flatten them into disks.
  • Sprinkle with thyme and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drizzle remaining oil evenly over potatoes.
  • Transfer baking sheet to top rack and roast for 20 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are lightly browned and crispy. Serve hot.
