Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water and season lightly with salt. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Taste the water; it should be pleasantly salty. If not, add a little more salt and taste again. Cook until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large, rimmed baking sheet. Use the bottom of a coffee mug, or measuring cup, to lightly crush each potato. Drizzle with the olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
