Herbed Smashed Potatoes

The perfect side dish, smothered in tasty herbs and chunky salt, these are really special.

Ingredients
12 potatoes
kosher salt
ground black pepper
olive oil
fresh chopped basil
fresh chopped thyme
fresh chopped rosemary

Instructions
Fill a large stock pot halfway with water, bring to boil and liberally salt water. Add potatoes, and boil for 15 minutes, or until they are fork tender. Strain; set aside.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Brush some olive oil on a baking sheet and arrange the potatoes making sure they aren't too close to each other. Using a potato masher, press down in the center to smash a potato; repeat for all potatoes.

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 unNl browned on the top.

Note: These are delicious by themselves, but feel free to top with sour cream or parmesan cheese.
