Oven Smashed Potatoes

At the request of a friend, I decided to add a recipe. Along with pictures. The problem is I don't really use recipes.
First take some small potatoes. You want low starch (red, yukon gold, etc.) not high starch like russet. Below you will see some potatoes from our garden, which I used. I did not use all of them.




After you have your potatoes, wash and scrub them. You will want around 8-10. Enough to fill a baking sheet. THen boil them in water for about 10 minutes. You don't want them all the way cooked, just partially.
Here are the scrubbed, boiled potatoes.


Now comes the fun part. Take a potato masher thingy, or a small can of food, and smash each potato. You want them to still be together, not all mashed apart like some of them.
Now oil a baking sheet, with olive oil, although I used avocado oil. Then place the smashed potatoes on the baking sheet, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and fresh herbs (if you have them). I used chives.

Then bake in a preheated oven at 350 for 20 minutes.
