*You can boil and flatten potatoes up to 8 hours ahead. Let them cool completely then store in the fridge.
Red Potatoes (12 - 15)
Rosemary
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil (1/4-1/2 Cup)
Put potatoes in a large saucepan (preferably one layer) and add at least one inch of water on the bottom. Add salt to the water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook potatoes until they are completely cooked and is easily pierced with a metal or wood skewer. make sure they are cooked but not overcooked. The total cooking time will be 30-35 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, set up a double layer of clean dishtowels on countertop. As the potatoes finish cooking, remove them individually and let them drain and sit for just a minute or two on the dishtowels.
Fold another dishtowel into quarters or grab something (like the bottom of a cup) to flatten potatoes. Use dishtowel as a cover and gently push down on one potato with the palm of your hand to flatten it to a thickness of about 1/2 inch. Continue with all potatoes. Don't worry if some break apart a bit; you can still use them.
Cover a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Transfer the flattened potatoes carefully to the baking sheet and let them cook completely at room temperature. (If cooking ahead of time, cover lightly and then put potatoes in the fridge).
Remove the pan of potatoes from the refrigerator, if prepared ahead. Heat the oven to 450. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, and rosemary. Then drizzle olive oil on top. Roast the potatoes until they are prispy and deep brown around the edges, about 30 minutes turning once gently witha spatula or tongss halfway through cooking. Serve hot.
