Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt, and leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the fresh rosemary and parsley.
Drain the cooked potatoes and let them cool slightly. Using the back of a fork or a potato masher, gently crush each potato. The goal is to flatten them slightly while keeping them intact.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and rosemary to the skillet, and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Gently place the crushed potatoes into the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle them with salt and black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crushed potatoes with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve the Sun Dried Tomato Potato Crush hot as a side dish or a standalone snack.
