Steps

Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch and add the kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer until a paring knife slides into the center with no resistance, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the oven to 450°F. Drain the potatoes and let them steam dry in the colander for 5 minutes; drier skins crisp better.
Pour 3 tablespoons of the oil onto a rimmed sheet pan. Space the potatoes out on the pan and press each one with the bottom of a sturdy glass until about 1/2 inch thick, keeping it in one piece with ragged, cracked edges. Drizzle with the remaining oil and season with pepper.
Roast until the undersides are deep golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Flip each potato with a thin metal spatula.
Scatter the garlic and rosemary over the potatoes and roast until the second side is crisp and the garlic is golden, 10 to 12 minutes more.
Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve right away, while the edges are at their crispest.
