Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Place potatoes in a medium pot; add cold water to cover by 1". Season with salt, bring to a boil, and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet; let cool slightly, then lightly crush with your palm.

    Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low and add half of the potatoes; season with 3/4 tsp. salt. Cook, turning once, until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a plate. Add 3 Tbsp. oil, 3/4 tsp. salt, and remaining potatoes to pan; cook, turning once, until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Return all potatoes to pan, sprinkle with cheese, and cook, tossing to coat, until cheese begins to crisp, 1-2 more minutes.
