Chop the potatoes into small chunks.

Transfer the chopped potatoes into a big pot and cover them with water.

Bring the pot of water to a boil on the stove.

Once boiling, cook the potatoes for 10 minutes to soften them.

Drain the potatoes over a colander and let them steam for 1 to 2 minutes.

Drizzle olive oil into a baking tray and add the smashed garlic cloves without removing their skins.

Use a metal colander to vigorously throw the potatoes against it to fluff them up, aiming for bruised and battered edges.

Transfer the fluffed potatoes onto the baking tray and spread the prepared butter over them.

Add fresh rosemary to the potatoes, or any other herbs like thyme or sage if desired.

Pop the baking tray into the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for one hour.

After 30 minutes, take the potatoes out, wiggle them, and flip them over for even cooking.

Return the potatoes to the oven for another 30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
