Type of dish: Side Dish

12 whole new potatoes (or other small round potatoes)
3 Tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Rosemary (or other herbs of choice) to taste

Preheat oven to 450ºF.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook until they are fork-tender.

On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.

With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and mash again. Brush the tops of each crushed potato generously with more olive oil. Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.) Remember that potatoes need fat and salt to taste really good, so don’t skimp!

Bake in a 450ºF oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
