Directions

• Step 1 Preheat the oven to 425°. In a large pot, cover potatoes with water and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring water to a boil and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let sit until cool enough to handle.
• Step 2 In a medium sized bowl, toss potatoes with melted butter, garlic, and thyme.
• Step 3 Transfer potatoes to a baking sheet.
• Step 4 Using the bottom of a small glass or mason jar, press down on potatoes to smash them flat.
• Step 5 Season with salt and pepper. Pour any leftover butter mixture over potatoes.
• Step 6 Bake until bottoms of potatoes are beginning to crisp and golden, about 25 minutes.
