Roasted Garlic Butter Smashed Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 425° F. Place the potatoes in a large pot. Add water to cover by 1 inch. Add a handful of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, let cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, Combine the butter, garlic, and olive oil in a baking dish. Bake 20- 30 minutes, until the garlic is golden and the butter is browning, watch closely to ensure the garlic is not burning. 
3. Use a fork to mash the garlic cloves into the butter. Add the oregano, parsley, basil, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper. 
4. Working with the potatoes, use the bottom of a flat cup and smash the potatoes down (see photos). Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil. Bake 20 minutes. Pull the potatoes out of the oven and spoon the butter over each potato. Return to the oven and cook another 10-15 minutes, until extra crispy. 
5. Sever warm with additional herbs and sea salt.
