Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Arrange potatoes in large pot and cover with cold water by about 1-inch. Add salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, combine 4 tablespoons Country Crock® Plant Butter, garlic and herbs.
- Brush two baking sheets with remaining Plant Butter and arrange potatoes on baking sheet. Smash potatoes with a drinking glass or measuring cup until flattened but still in one piece. Brush with Plant Butter mixture. Roast until crisp and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
