Roasted Garlic-Herb Smashed Potatoes

Created by Puggs on May 15, 2016

2 pounds potatoes (small potatoes, peeled and wash under cold water, if medium size sliced in half)
Fresh thyme (handful of, or one tsp dried)
Fresh rosemary (handful of, or one tsp dried)
6 garlic cloves (sliced into fourths)

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 320ºF.
Step 2: Remove the stalks from the thyme and rosemary and add to a bowl. Add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, mix then set aside.
Step 3: Add the butter to an oven dish, turn on heat and let butter melt, remove from oven, then add the herb mixture and the garlic and mix well with a spoon.
Step 4: Add the baby potatoes and ensure they are all coated in butter herb mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just fork-tender.
Step 6: Remove from oven and lightly crush potatoes with a potato masher (do not mash or over crush, it's best to do 2 or 3 potatoes at once to spread pressure evenly).
Step 7: Return to oven and bake another 15-20 minutes.
