4 small potatoes, cubed
1/2 teaspoon fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
water as needed
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Place potatoes into a roasting pan, and drizzle with enough hot water to cover. Boil in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain, cool and mash.
