A simple yet elegant side dish featuring crispy smashed fingerling potatoes drizzled with truffle oil, topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh chives. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside, this recipe is quick and fuss-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes, washed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
  • 1 teaspoon white truffle oil
  • ½ cup (50 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Place the fingerling potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-18 minutes until just tender when pierced with a fork but not mushy. Drain thoroughly and let dry for a few minutes.
  3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly on a sturdy rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Arrange the boiled potatoes on the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  5. Using a potato masher or the bottom of a glass, gently press down on each potato until about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick, taking care not to break them apart completely.
  6. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the smashed potatoes, then sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to crisp both sides evenly.
  8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the hot potatoes to allow it to melt slightly.
  9. Lightly drizzle truffle oil over the potatoes and scatter the chopped fresh chives on top.
  10. Serve warm to enjoy the contrast of crispy edges and tender centers.

Notes

Pat potatoes dry after boiling to ensure crispiness. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even crisping. Use a light hand with truffle oil to avoid overpowering flavor. Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven or toaster oven to regain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
