• 8 new potatoes (or any small potatoes)
• olive oil, for drizzling
• kosher salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• rosemary (or any desired herb)

Recipe

• 1 boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender. (this is very important! they must be very tender.).
• 2 drizzle sheet pan generously with olive oil.
• 3 place tender potatoes on sheet pan, leaving plenty of room between each potato.
• 4 with a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the masher 90 degrees and mash again. (one reviewer suggested using the bottom of a glass for this step. i tried it, and it works much better than the masher.).
