Ingredients

2 pounds baby potatoes
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 to 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Scrub the potatoes and place them in a pan with enough water to cover them. Cover and bring the potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat. Once they start to boil reduce to medium and continue to cook until fork-tender about 20 to 30 minutes.
Once the potatoes are tender drain the water and allow the potatoes to dry.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with a nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and chive mix together.
Place the potatoes on the prepared pan and with a potato masher smash the potatoes.
Brush each of the potatoes with the butter mixture. Place in the preheated oven and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until the edge start to brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Place the pan back into the oven and bake for another 2 to 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Serve.

Notes

Use baby potatoes for this recipe. They will bake faster and they are fun to eat.
Use a potato masher to smash the potatoes. If you don't have a masher you can use a cup.
For potatoes that are crisper bake for a longer amount of time or until more of the potato is browned.
To reheat the potato preheat the oven to 350 and bake the potatoes until the desired temperature.
Serve with sour cream is desired.
