How to make the smashed potatoes:

- Once soft enough, drain the water and let the potatoes rest for about 5 minutes.
- Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, then smash them pressing on pressing each one with the bottom of a glass.
- Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and the melted salted butter. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper and basil.
