Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 2 medium Sweet Potatoes Go for medium-sized sweet potatoes to ensure they cook evenly and smash beautifully.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds richness and helps the seasonings cling perfectly.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential in bringing out the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Offers a subtle kick that balances the dish’s sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika A hint of smokiness that adds depth to the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Enhances the taste of sweet potatoes.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances the flavor.
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Gives the dish a salty, nutty crust.
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Adds a pop of freshness.

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • potato masher
  • Small Bowl

Method
 

Directions
  1. Begin by quartering your medium sweet potatoes and placing them in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil, then allow the potatoes to cook for 18-20 minutes until they are fork-tender.
  2. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, carefully drain them and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently flatten each potato piece to about half an inch thick.
  3. In a small bowl, melt your butter and mix it with the paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful seasoning blend. Brush this mixture generously over each smashed potato.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake the seasoned sweet potatoes for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  5. As soon as your Crispy Smashed Sweet Potatoes are beautifully golden, remove them from the oven. Immediately sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and fresh thyme over the hot potatoes.
