Garlic Smashed Potatoes

These potatoes are addictive. The garlic on top and the skins become a little crunchy and the center is soft and buttery. Normally, these are made using herbs such as thyme or rosemary, but I didn't have any fresh herbs when I was cooking dinner so I decided to simplify. This is an example of how having some simple ingredients in your pantry can allow you to easily cook something delicious on the fly!
