These Herbed Smashed Potatoes are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of fresh flavor! Made with baby potatoes, herbs, and a touch of olive oil, they’re an easy and versatile side dish that pairs perfectly with any main course.
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.
