To prepare Cheesy Crash Hot Potatoes, start by thoroughly washing the potatoes. Cook them in plenty of boiling water for about 20 minutes, or until they are well cooked through.
Take a baking tray, line it with parchment paper and drizzle some extra virgin olive oil on the paper. When the potatoes are ready, drain them and arrange them on the tray, making sure to leave enough space between each potato.
Flatten each potato using a fork or, even better, a potato masher. Brush with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkle with pepper and add a pinch of salt.
Using a coarse grater, grate the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (aged Italian parmesan) and sprinkle it over the potatoes. Bake in a preheated oven at 250°C (482°F) for about 20-25 minutes, placing the tray on the upper rack of the oven.
When the Parmigiano is well melted and the potatoes are golden and crispy, remove from the oven and serve your Cheesy Crash Hot Potatoes! Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Tips

For making Cheesy Crash Hot Potatoes, we recommend using organic potatoes with edible skin. If you can’t find them, we suggest peeling the potatoes before using them in the recipe.

Storage

Cheesy Crash Hot Potatoes are best enjoyed immediately after preparation, but if you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.
