For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder before roasting. Don't overcrowd the pan; if necessary, use two baking sheets to ensure even crisping. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Asiago, Pecorino Romano, or even a sharp cheddar would be delicious. For a vegan option, nutritional yeast can be used in place of Parmesan cheese. Make sure the potatoes are truly tender before smashing. This is key to achieving the desired fluffy interior.
