Crushed Hot Potatoes Recipes

PIONEER WOMAN'S CRASH POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook them until they are fork-tender.
• 2. On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.
• 3. With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the potato masher 90 degrees and mash again. Brush the tops of each crushed potato generously with more olive oil.
• 4. Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.)
• 5. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

CRASH HOT POTATOES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a potato masher, gently press down to mash each one. The tops of the potatoes should be really textured. Drizzle the tops of the potatoes with the olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. These are absolutely irresistible!

PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

CRUSHED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 15 mins until completely cooked through. Peeling the potatoes isn't essential, but I think it gives a smoother finish to the dish.
• Drain, tip into a bowl, and crush with the olive oil until broken but not mashed. Stir through the spring onions and the olives, then season to taste and serve.

CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into cubes but keep the skin on. Cook in a pan of simmering salted water until just tender, about 10-15 minutes, and then drain. Add back to the pan with the parsley and some seasoning and crush lightly with a masher or the back of a fork.
• Add a splash of white wine vinegar and a slug of olive oil and gently mix in. Add more of each if it needs it.
