Oh boy! These are tasty potatoes! And the best part...they are super easy to make and require very little time. I found this recipe at The Pioneer Woman. I'm looking forward to checking out more of her recipes.
Crash Hot Potatoes
12 New Potatoes (or other small, round potatoes)
Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Black Pepper
Favorite Herb (I used rosemary.)
Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and allow to boil until tender when forked.
Drizzle olive oil generously on a cookie sheet. (You want enough to ensure that your potatoes don't stick to the pan.)
When potatoes are tender, drain and arrange on cookie sheet. Make sure to leave enough space between potatoes for them to spread out.
Use your potato masher to gently mash each potato slightly. Rotate the masher 90 degrees and finish flattening. Don't over "smash" though.
Next, brush the tops of each potato generously with olive oil. Then sprinkle generously with kosher salt, followed by fresh ground black pepper. Last, sprinkle the herb of your choosing. (I used dried but fresh would be wonderful too - just make sure you cut it up really fine if you use fresh herbs.)
Bake on the top rack of your oven at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
These were so good Erin. I'm going to be making them a lot!
