I have been itching to try this recipe for some time now! These smashed potatoes reminded us a lot of the Hasselback Potato, quite possibly because I used a lot of the same spices. However, the next time I make them, I would use less *olive oil, maybe a little less than 1/4 cup. To be honest, when I cook hasselback potatoes, I normally eyeball the spices and olive oil in a ramekin - I will probably do the same the next time I make these!
