Smash the Potatoes
Once cooled, place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Using a fork or the bottom of a glass, gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.

Season and Fry
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and fry the potatoes until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
