Ingredients
- 1 lb (453.59 g) mixed small gold and red new potatoes
- sea salt and black pepper, freshly ground
- 3 Tbsp (3 Tbsp) extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup (25 g) Parmesan Regiano , freshly grated
- 1/4 cup (33 g) Fontina cheese, freshly grated
- 2 Tbsp (2 Tbsp) fresh chives, minced
- Fleur de sel or sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the potatoes and 1 Tbsp of salt in a large saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 17 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork or skewer.
- Drain the potatoes and place on a rimmed 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 on the pan with the olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 3/4 tsp pepper. Roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until the skins have become nicely browned.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with the Parmesan and Fontina, and roast for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with the chives and fleur de sel or sea salt. Serve hot.
