Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the potatoes and 1 tablespoon salt in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 17 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a skewer. Drain the potatoes and place on a sheet pan. With a potato masher or metal measuring cup, press each potato until it's about 1/2 inch thick (they will be messy). Toss the potatoes with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until the skins have become nicely browned. Sprinkle the potatoes with the Parmesan cheese and roast for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts. Sprinkle the potatoes with the chives and fleur de sel and serve hot.
PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES
We've seen plenty of potato trends over the past few years: Retro hasselback potatoes made a comeback, buttery "melting" potatoes took over Pinterest soon after, and now smashed potatoes are the spuds of the moment. The idea is to simmer small potatoes until tender, then toss them with olive oil, flatten them and crisp them in the oven. It's simple - and insanely delicious. There are more than 35,000 #smashedpotatoes photos on Instagram, and many Food Network stars are obsessed, too. Here's how to make them like a pro.

- Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for smashed potatoes because they are creamy and have a thin skin that crisps up nicely when roasted.
- Parboil the potatoes: Parboiling the potatoes before roasting them helps to ensure that they are cooked through and fluffy on the inside.
- Roast the potatoes at a high temperature: Roasting the potatoes at a high temperature helps to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
- Smash the potatoes: Use a fork or potato masher to smash the potatoes lightly after they have been roasted. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Season the potatoes: Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before roasting. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, or paprika.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: Smashed potatoes are best served immediately after they have been roasted. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
