Dried herbs are often more affordable and have a longer shelf life.

Fill a large pot with 3 quarts of cold water and add 1 cup of salt.

Add 2 pounds of potatoes to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat.

Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes, checking for doneness by piercing with a knife.

When the potatoes are tender and have no resistance, drain the water from the pot.

Smash the potatoes using a measuring cup to expose the insides for better oil absorption.

In a bowl, thinly slice half of a red onion and squeeze lemon juice over the slices, adding salt.

Macerate the onions with your hands to encourage the salt to absorb, and set aside.

Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the smashed potatoes, ensuring they are well coated and 'drowned' in oil.

Taste the potatoes to check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.

Serve the potatoes warm, topped with the quick pickled onions.
