INGREDIENTS:

– red potatoes – kosher salt – ground black pepper – olive oil – dried basil leaves – dried thyme leaves – dried rosemary

STEP 1

In a large stock pot filled halfway with water, bring to boil and liberally salt water. Add red potatoes, and boil until they are fork tender. Strain; set aside.

STEP 2

Preheat oven- Using a baking sheet, drizzle some olive oil onto the sheet, and spread around using hand (or paper towel). Line your potatoes up 4 to a row, 3 across, making sure they aren't too close to each other.  Using a potato masher or strong fork, press down in the center to smash your potato; repeat for all potatoes.

STEP 3

Drizzle olive oil over the tops of the potatoes, then brush around the entire potato. Sprinkle kosher salt, pepper, and all herbs over the tops of the potatoes. Place into oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until browned on the top.
