Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Rinse the baby red potatoes and arrange them on the greased baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft enough to smash with a fork. Note: Larger potatoes may require additional baking time.
While the potatoes are baking, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed.
Once the potatoes have finished their initial baking, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Using the bottom of a greased cup, carefully smash each potato.
Drizzle the butter and herb mixture evenly over the smashed potatoes.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the butter mixture to melt and slightly caramelize on the potatoes.
Serve the potatoes hot, straight out of the oven. Enjoy!
