Crash Hot Potatoes

12 whole New Potatoes (or other small round potato)
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Kosher Salt to taste (I used Sea Salt)
Black pepper to taste
Rosemary (or other herb of choice) to taste

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cool them until they are fork-tender.
On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.
With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and mash again. Brush the tops of each crushed potato generously with more olive oil
Sprinkle potatoes with salt, ground pepper and fresh chopped herbs.
Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
