PREP. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Peel and mince garlic finely.

BOIL POTATOES. Add potatoes to a large saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cool water. Let cool slightly.

MAKE HERB OIL. Add oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt to a small bowl. Mix well to combine.

SMASH AND COAT POTATOES. Place potatoes on prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a glass or small bowl, gently press down on each potato until it is flattened to about ¼’ thick. Brush each potato with the herb oil mixture.

BAKE. Bake potatoes until edges are brown and crispy, about 20 minutes.

SERVE. Plate as desired.
