Method

Boiling the Potatoes

1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil.
2. Add 1 tbsp of salt to the boiling water.
3. Gently drop in the small potatoes and boil them for 20-25 minutes or until they're soft enough to be pierced easily with a fork.

Preparing the Potatoes for Baking

4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
5. Strain the boiled potatoes and allow them to dry in the strainer for about 5 minutes.
6. Coat a baking sheet with 1 tbsp of avocado oil.
7. Place the boiled potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and use a potato masher or the back of a fork to "smash" them down gently.
8. Let the smashed potatoes rest for another 5 minutes.
9. Brush each potato with melted butter.
10. Season the potatoes with 1 tsp of salt, 1 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of hing.

Baking the Potatoes

11. Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Resist the urge to flip them; let them get crispy on the bottom.

Final Touches

12. Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the oven.
13. While they're still hot, sprinkle each potato with Redbloom seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese.
14. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley.
