Instructions

TO BAKE YOUR POTATOES

1. Preheat your oven to 400°.
2. In your mixing bowl, season your potatoes with salt and pepper. Coat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle your rosemary, sage, thyme, dill, and basil over your potatoes. Mix it all until your potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Spread the potatoes in an even layer on your baking sheet.
4. Bake until fully tender when poked with a knife—about 25 minutes.
5. Let the potatoes cool enough so that you can handle them, then crush each one with the back of your measuring cup. You want to create a patty shape, with lots of craggy surface area to crisp up in the hot oil. If you have larger potatoes, tear them up into smaller pieces after smashing.
6. Drizzle another tbsp of oil over potatoes and place them back in the oven at 450º for 15 minutes.
7. Season to taste with finishing salt.
8. Serve. Eat. Enjoy!
