Ingredients :

2 pounds new potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

1 - 2 teaspoons Le Saunier de Camargue Fleur de Sel

Instructions :

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  3. Place prepared potatoes in a large pot of lightly salted water and bring to a boil, turn heat to medium, and cooking potatoes for about 8 - 10 minutes. Potatoes should be just fork tender, add more time if needed. Drain and allow to steam dry for about 1 minute.

  4. Spread out potatoes onto a baking sheet and with the back of a spoon, carefully press and smash the potatoes until they just break open and split, but not all the way through so that they aren't completely broken.

  6. Make sure the potatoes are spread out evenly and bake in the preheated 400°F oven for 30 - 45 minutes or until they start to turn golden on the edges.

  7. Allow to cool for 3 - 5 minutes finish with the remaining Le Saunier de Camargue Fleur de Sel and serve.
