Smashed Potatoes

Place the potatoes in a large pot with water, salt them, and bring to a boil until tender. This may take approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on their size.

Drain the cooked potatoes, transfer them to a clean kitchen towel, and let them dry and cool for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to $230 \text{ °C}$ and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
