Notes
When smashing your potatoes try not to press too hard. It's best to go light and then increase the pressure.
Try to make sure the potato size is relatively the same. This way all of the potatoes will cook within the same time frame.
Don't skimp on the butter. Adding plenty of butter will make these little smashed potatoes delicious bites!
Add more Parmesan and Salt and pepper to finish.
