    Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and set aside.

    Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer and cook until potatoes are just fork tender but not falling apart, 10-15 minutes.

    Meanwhile, combine melted butter, dried dill, oregano, marjoram, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ½ teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Drain potatoes and transfer to bowl with herb butter. Toss to coat.

    Pour potatoes onto the prepared sheet pan and use the bottom of a mug to smash the potatoes until they’re ½-inch thick. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
