Step 1

Place the potatoes in a stock pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then immediately reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes until you can pierce them easily with a fork, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain the potatoes. Place the potatoes on a clean towel to cool off and dry.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the sea salt and dried herbs into a small bowl and mix together. Place in the salt mill, set to a fine grind and grind into an even layer onto a small plate. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat an enameled cast iron skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil and add 1 tablespoon of butter per batch of potatoes. Working in batches, add half of the potatoes to the pan. Gently smash the potatoes with a spatula or fork until they are about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 4

Season the potatoes with the herbes de Provence salt mixture. Cook on the first side until the potatoes are browned and crispy, about 3 minutes. Flip and repeat cooking on the other side. Remove the potatoes from the pan and season with more salt to taste before serving.
