Herby Purple Potatoes

Ingredients

• 24 ounces (1 ½ pounds) purple potatoes
  
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  
• 2 large cloves of garlic, cut in half
  
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced
  
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  
  

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
   
2. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, bring the potatoes to a boil over high-heat. Add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and reduce heat. Simmer potatoes uncovered for about 15 minutes or until barely fork tender.
   
3. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the garlic cloves and allow to heat very slowly for 10 minutes; checking frequently to ensure the garlic does not burn.
   
4. When potatoes are fork tender drain them and place on baking sheet. Gently smash them with potato masher or fork until crushed. Brush the crushed potatoes with garlic infused olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and rosemary.
   
5. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
