How to cook deliciously - Smashed Potatoes

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, cooking the potatoes uncovered until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes well. Editor's Tip: After draining, let the potatoes sit in the warm pot off heat for a few minutes to allow additional moisture to evaporate—drier potatoes equal crispier potatoes.

2. Stage

Coat the bottom of a 15x10-inch baking sheet with olive oil. Lay out the cooked potatoes, and use a potato masher to carefully flatten each one to about 1/2 inch thick. Brush the potatoes with butter, and season well with salt and pepper.

3. Stage

Cook the potatoes until they're golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Add chives and parsley and serve hot.
