Smashed Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
- 2 pounds Fingerling Potatoes, Washed, But Not Peeled
- 5 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 10 sprigs Thyme
- 1/4 cups Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Creme Fraiche For Serving (optional)
- Cover potatoes with water in a large pot and add 2 teaspoons salt to water. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are softened, but not fully cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
- Drain and place potatoes on a parchment-lined sheet pan and allow to cool slightly. Press down on potatoes with a flat spatula or flat-bottomed sauce pan until flattened, but still intact. Scatter garlic and thyme evenly over potatoes and drizzle with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast in a 450u0b0F oven for 20-30 minutes or until desired doneness.
- To serve, dollop with creme fraiche and sprinkle with roasted bits of garlic and herbs.
- To make ahead, proceed with instructions until just before roasting. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to several hours before roasting.
