1 headgarlic

3 sprigsthyme

3bay leaves

¼ cupextra virgin olive oil

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F

Step 2

Wash your potatoes and put in a cold pot of water. Salt the water and bring to a boil.

Step 3

Once the water boils, reduce to medium and keep at a simmer for 30 minutes or until fork tender.

Step 4

Smash an entire head of garlic, and place all the cloves, skin on, in a bowl. Add in the thyme and bay leaves. Pour over the olive oil and stir to combine.

Step 5

Cover a foil-lined baking sheet with more olive oil, and salt and pepper the bottom of the tray.

Step 6

Place the potatoes on the sheet, and smash them lightly. They should form 1/2 inch thick patties and have nice, flat surfaces on both sides. You may need to use a second baking sheet.

Step 7

Pour the herb and oil mixture over the potatoes, making sure to evenly distribute both the oil and the potatoes. Salt and pepper the top, too.

Step 8

Bake at 425°F for 40-45 minutes.
