  • Place all the potatoes onto a lightly greased baking tray lined with foil or parchment paper then peel a small piece of the skin off the top of each potato so the flesh is exposed. Use a potato masher and gently press down on each potato making sure you don't break the potato apart. On each potato, sprinkle the salt, black pepper, garlic granules, cheese and parsley.
