• 500g to 1kg baby potatoes
• 1 cup white, panko-style breadcrumbs
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup grated yellow processed cheese
• 2-3 tablespoons melted butter or cooking oil
• 1 tablespoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• Salt to taste

1. 1Boil baby potatoes until tender.
2. 2Spread white breadcrumbs evenly onto a flat, round plate.
3. 3Sprinkle grated processed cheese generously over the breadcrumbs.
4. 4Place the plate into an oven or air fryer to melt the cheese and fuse it with the breadcrumbs, forming a thin, crispy sheet resembling a 'papad'.
5. 5Remove the golden and crispy sheet, break it into pieces, and place them into a clear glass bowl.
6. 6Crush the crispy pieces by hand into a coarse powder.
7. 7Add red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt to the crushed powder and mix to create a vibrant reddish-orange spicy cheese seasoning.
8. 8Place the boiled baby potatoes in a large white bowl.
9. 9Drizzle melted butter or cooking oil over the potatoes.
10. 10Generously add the freshly prepared spicy cheese seasoning powder to the potatoes.
11. 11Toss and mix the potatoes thoroughly by hand to ensure an even coating of the seasoning.
12. 12Arrange the seasoned potatoes on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
13. 13Gently but firmly smash each potato flat using the bottom of a glass.
14. 14Place the tray of smashed potatoes into an air fryer or oven and cook until they turn dark reddish-brown and become visibly crispy (estimated 8-10 minutes).
15. 15Remove the crispy smashed potatoes from the baking tray with a spatula and artfully arrange them on a white plate.
16. 16Serve hot, accompanied by a small wooden bowl containing a white, creamy dipping sauce.
