Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 teaspoon butter at room temperature
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 1.5 pounds small yellow-fleshed potatoes
• 0.5 teaspoon dried sage
• 0.5 teaspoon ground thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried savory

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place potatoes in a saucepan. Fill with water to cover potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook potatoes until tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to cool.

Step 3

While potatoes are cooling, mix olive oil, balsamic vinegar, butter, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, savory, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir with a fork to combine well.

Step 4

Place cooled potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Use a clean dish towel to lightly press down on potatoes to smash them. Spoon the oil-herb mixture over each potato.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
