Smash Potatoes

Ingredients:

12 whole New Potatoes (or other small round potatoes)

3 Tablespoons Tuscan Herb Olive Oil & Rosemary Olive Oil 

Kosher Salt to Taste

Black Pepper to Taste

Parmesan Cheese

Rosemary (or other herbs of choice) to taste

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450F.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil  Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook them 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 olive oil.

Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, parmesan and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives, thyme, or whatever herb you have available).

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
