📝 Preparation Steps
1
Scrub the potatoes clean of any dirt and rinse under water. Remove any nubby areas. Place the potatoes in a large Dutch oven or pot.
2
Boil
3
Fill the pot with water until the potatoes are submerged and covered by 1 inch of water. Add 1 tbsp of the salt, the bay leaves, and the garlic cloves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and continue cooking until the potatoes are very easily pierced with a fork, about ⏱️ 20-22 minutes.

While the potatoes cook, preheat the oven to 425℉ and drizzle 1 tbsp of the olive oil over a large, rimmed baking sheet. Brush the oil so it’s evenly distributed.
6
Drain
7
When the potatoes are done, drain them in a large colander and let them cool for about ⏱️ 5 minutes, until they’re cool enough to handle. Discard bay leaves and garlic.

Drizzle the remaining 2½ tbsp of olive oil over the smashed potatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ tsp salt and some freshly ground pepper.

Bake for about ⏱️ 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are crisp and golden.
