Instrucciones

Preheat your oven to 425F or 225C

Bring a large pot of water to the boil, then add the potatoes to it and cook until just cooked but not super soft (they will continue to cook in the oven) it will take about 15-25 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.

While the potatoes are cooking mix the oil and garlic together.

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and then place the potatoes on a baking sheet.

Using a potato masher or a fork 'smash' the top of the potatoes. I like to rough them up a little with a fork and remove a little of the skin on top, this ensures more crispy bits when they are cooked.

Evenly drizzle the olive oil (or use a silicone brush) on the top of the potatoes, then season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle on the fresh thyme leaves, then immediately place the baking sheet into the hot oven.

Bake for about 20-35 minutes, or until the top of the potatoes are good and crispy! Serve immediately, the crispiness will not be as good once the potatoes start to cool, or if they have to be reheated later on.
