Ted’s Tip No. 164

Elevate simple small spuds by smashing them and adding Parmigiano-Reggiano. Cut potatoes in half, coat with extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper on a sheet pan. Add to a 400 degree oven. Bake until soft and golden. Take out of oven, carefully press a fork over the top creating crevasses for the cheese to melt into. Sprinkle Parm liberally about. Pop back into oven for a few minutes to let the cheese melt.
