Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover by 1 inch and add 1/2 tsp salt. Boil the potatoes until just tender, 15 minutes; drain and pat them dry.

Step 3

When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, place them on prepared pan; use the bottom of a cup to gently smash each one. Brush the potatoes lightly with oil; sprinkle them with remaining 1/2 tsp salt. Roast the potatoes, flipping once, until browned and crispy, 25-30 minutes.

Step 4

When they're still hot, toss the potatoes with fresh herbs and garlic.

Step 5

Serving size: 4 potatoes
