Using a potato masher, press down each potato until smashed but not completely flattened. Brush the tops of the mashed potatoes with the remaining olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix the garlic and Parmesan cheese, then add them to the top of the potatoes. Add kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste.
