Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of a large rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
- While the oven preheats, scrub the potatoes and rinse them under running water, then place them in a saucepan. Fill the pot with water until it comes up 1 inch over potatoes. Place the pot over medium-high heat on the stove, add a few dashes of kosher salt and bring it to a boil for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are easily pierced throughout with a fork. Drain the potatoes in a large colander and let them cool for 5 minutes.
- While the potatoes cool, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic.
- Transfer the potatoes to the prepared baking sheet, scattering them evenly across the surface. Use a large fork or potato masher to gently smash each potato to 1/2 inch thickness.
- Drizzle the melted garlic butter evenly over the smashed potatoes. Sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.
- Bake for 22 to 30 minutes, until the edges of the potatoes are golden brown. Serve garnished with chopped parsley and other desired herbs.
