Step 1
In a large pot, combine the potatoes and 1 tsp salt. Add enough water to the pot to cover the potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool while the oven preheats.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Place the potatoes on the baking sheet. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, smash the potatoes to a ¼-inch thickness.
