Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and scrub the potatoes. Place in a large pot, cover with cold, salted water, and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. Drain and let the potatoes cool for about 5 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Smash each potato gently using a fork or masher.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes, season with salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  5. While baking, prepare the aioli by whisking together mayonnaise (or yogurt), olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Season to taste.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs alongside the garlic aioli dip.
