Parmesan Smashed Potatoes

• 2 lbs baby red potatoes, sliced in half
• 5 tablespoons salted butter, cut into tablespoons
• 12 cup grated parmigiano, reggiano
• 34 teaspoon salt
• 12 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 12 teaspoon garlic powder

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook potatoes until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
2. Use a slotted spoon or hand-held strainer to transfer cooked potatoes to shallow bowl or serving dish and reserve hot cooking water.
3. Top potatoes with butter, parmigiano reggiano, salt and pepper.
4. Use a fork to smash the potatoes, adding cooking liquid as necessary to make the potatoes as creamy as you like (I do about 1/2 cup total).
5. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
6. Sprinkle with parsley and serve!
