The BEST EVER Salty Herbed Smashed Red Potatoes are the perfect side dish! Smothered in tasty herbs and chunky salt, these are finger-lickin' good! 

Ingredients

  • 12 red potatoes
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • ½ tsp dried basil leaves
  • ½ tsp dried thyme leaves
  • ½ tsp dried rosemary

Directions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 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.

  3. 3

    Drizzle olive oil over the tops of the potatoes, then brush around the entire potato (I used a basting brush). 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.
