Lunch: Smashed Potatoes

Recipe by amanda81 These are little potato morsels, twice-cooked and infused with flavor. My family asks for them often!

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds small yellow-fleshed potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon butter at room temperature
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried savory
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Place potatoes in a saucepan, fill with water to cover the potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the potatoes until tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to cool.
While potatoes are cooking, combine olive oil, butter, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, savory, sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir with a fork to combine well.
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and lightly press down on the potatoes to partially crush them. Spoon the oil-herb mixture over each potato.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the potatoes are beginning to crisp, about 25 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
