ROSEMARY SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until fork tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and leave them in the colander for 5 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 450 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle some olive oil over it.
• Place cooked potatoes on the baking sheet, leaving plenty of room between each potato. You might need two baking sheets, if you don't have a large one, but it depends on how many potatoes you cook.
• Using a potato masher or fork, gently press down on each potato until it slightly mashes and flattens. Rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and press down again. Brush the tops of each potato generously with more olive oil.
• Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary.
• Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

• Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Add potatoes, cover and steam until just tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Brush the hot baking sheet with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Place the steamed potatoes on the pan, skin-side up, and smash with the bottom of a jar or smooth side of a meat mallet. Drizzle with the garlic oil. Roast until browned on the bottom, about 15 minutes.

SMASHED ROSEMARY POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in lots of salted water until almost cooked all the way through. Drain and leave to cool a bit. Strip the rosemary leaves and mix with the oil, garlic and seasoning in a roasting tray.

SUNNY'S CRISPY SMASHED ROSEMARY GARLIC FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Microwave the potatoes for the time instructed on the package, minus 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly to handle, then cut the longer potatoes in half, leaving the smaller potatoes intact.
• In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the oil, butter and rosemary stalks. Using the bottom of a dry cup measure or something similar, gently smash each potato portion to about 1/4 inch thick and scrape off with a butter knife. Slide a smashed potato right into the bubbling fat and repeat with the remaining potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are golden and crisp on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip and continue to cook, adding more butter if needed, until golden on the other side, about another 3 minutes. While cooking, mind the rosemary stalks and flip and turn them as well. Once they are lightly crisped, remove them to a drying rack above a baking sheet along with any crisped potatoes. Season gently with salt and pepper.
• Crinkle the rosemary leaves with your fingers or chop gently and add to a large metal bowl with the parsley. Coat the inside of the bowl with the garlic. Transfer the potatoes to the bowl and toss gently until coated. Serve warm.
