Ingredients:  
1 1/2 pounds small creamer potatoes
1 tablespoon baking soda
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic, skins on, smashed
Leaves from 5 sprigs fresh thyme
Leaves from 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give
easily when pierced with the tip of a knife,15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and
set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the
potatoes can dry.

Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently.

(You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes
mostly intact.)

Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a
spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an
additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula.

Serve while hot.
