Bring to a boil, then cook on medium-high heat for 15 minutes.
Poke the potatoes with a fork to make sure they are fully cooked. If the fork slides easily all the way to the center, the potatoes are done.
Once cooked, strain the potatoes well.
Transfer the potatoes onto a baking sheet and smash with a fork.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
