Who doesnt love Caesar dressing?
Simply Recipes / Jessica Furniss
I hate peeling potatoes to the point where it can become a problem.
Caesar saladwith a side of fries recently took the internet by storm as the it meal of the moment.

Unlike othersmashed potato recipes, these dont require a first step of boiling.
Instead, everything happens in the oven.
I bake mini potatoes until tender, then smash them with the bottom of a drinking glass.

The result is a bite with a perfectly crispy, cheesy exterior and a creamy, fluffy potato center.
Whats the Best Store-Bought Caesar Dressing?
My favorite store-bought option isKens Creamy Caesar.

It adheres perfectly to whatever veggies Im using, and a little bit goes a long way.
Wash and dry the potatoes, then add them to the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the oil onto the potatoes and use your hands to mix the potatoes to coat.
Space the potatoes 1/2 inch apart, then sprinkle them evenly with the salt and pepper.
Bake the potatoes until tender when pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and use the bottom of a drinking glass to smash them flat.
To prevent sticking, spray a little cooking spray onto the bottom of the glass as needed.
Use a pastry brush to brush 2 tablespoons of the Caesar dressing onto the potatoes.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the dressed potatoes until the edges start to get golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
Remove the smashed potatoes from the oven.
While the potatoes are still hot, brush on the remaining 2 tablespoons of Caesar dressing.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and the parsley, if using.
