Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds small yellow potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a saucepan and fill the pan with water to cover the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Drain the water.
- While the potatoes are cooking, preheat the oven to 450 and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, butter, balsamic vinegar, garlic, basil, sage, and thyme.
- Place the cooked potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press down on the potatoes using a potato masher or a glass, so they are partially smashed.
- Spoon the olive oil mixture over each potato, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake 25 minutes, until the potatoes are crispy and browned. Serve hot.
