Smashed Potatoes

We love potatoes around here.  The kids will never complain about eating potatoes.  In any form.  These Smashed Potatoes are one of kids' favorite ways, if not the favorite way, to have their potatoes.

2 pounds red potatoes
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Salt

Place potatoes in a large pan and cover with water.  Bring to a boil and boil until tender.  Remove potatoes from pan and place on a foil lined baking sheet.  Smash potatoes (I use my potato masher) between 1/2 and 1 inch thick.  Drizzle with melted butter, then sprinkle with salt and Parmesan cheese.  Bake at 400 for 10 minutes.
