Squashed herby potatoes

• new potato↗750g g
• virgin olive oil↗6 tbsp tbsp
• chopped fresh thyme2 tsp tsp
• chopped fresh oregano2 tsp tsp
• flaky sea salt↗

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Cook the new potatoes (with their skins on) in boiling salted water for 15-20 minutes depending on their size. They should be quite soft for this recipe.

2. 2

   Meanwhile warm the oil and herbs in a small pan – this helps release all the flavours. Drain the potatoes, tip them into a bowl and ‘squash’ each potato with a fork – it should break up but not fall apart. Be gentle here, as you don’t want the potatoes completely collapsing. Pour over the herb oil, gently stir, tip into a serving dish, then sprinkle over a good pinch of sea salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
