Ingredients
- 8 Baby Dutch or red potatoes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large pot filled 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℉. On baking sheet, drizzle some olive oil onto the sheet, and spread around. Line your potatoes 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.
- Drizzle olive oil over the tops of the potatoes, spreading around if necessary. 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. If desired sprinkle on Parmesan cheese or top with a dollop of sour cream.
