Smashed Potatoes with Herbs de Provence

Originating from the south of France, herbs de Provence is a blend of dried herbs including rosemary, basil, thyme and oregano. Roasting potatoes with these dried herbs will fill a home with the most delicious aroma. Pair with Lemon Roasted Cauliflower and roasted chicken or warm beans.

Serves 4

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 lb baby potatoes (any color) and cook uncovered for 20 minutes. Drain. Spread out potatoes on a lined sheet pan. Using a potato masher (or anything with a flat bottom like a drinking glass), press down gently on the potatoes so they crack and flatten. Season the potatoes with 2 Tb avocado oil and 1 tsp herbs de Provence. Roast the potatoes for 30 minutes or until the edges become crispy. Season with salt to taste.
