Crash Hot Potatoes

Ladies, I am curious about something.  What types of meals do y'all cook?  Do y'all make the 50's standard meal and by that I mean a meat, two veggies and a starch or bread?  or do you make casseroles or maybe a pasta dish that has veggies in it?  We eat a lot of pasta and casseroles, but when I do make a meat with sides, this is one of my go to recipes.  It's a PW recipe and it's WONDERFUL! 


Crash Hot Potatoes



Ingredients


■12 whole New Potatoes (or Other Small Round Potatoes)

■3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

■Kosher Salt To Taste

■Black Pepper To Taste

■Rosemary (or Other Herbs Of Choice) To Taste

Preparation Instructions

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.

On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.

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.  (I don't have a potato masher so I used a fork)

So, if you look on PW's picture of this recipe, each individual potatoes is mashed and it's MUCH prettier.  I was in a hurry so I cut my tators up smaller and kind of mashed them all together.  It looks a little like something they would serve in Oliver Twist - "Please sir, I want some more" but the taste is pretty much the same. 
Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.)  Just for the record, I totally used dried rosemary in the jar.  I rarely get fresh rosemary at the store because it is EXPENSIVE and y'all know I kill plants so it's not like I could grow my own. 

Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

YUM!  Look how brown and crispy.  MMMM!

Served with grilled pork tenderloin and grilled squash.  MMMM! 

If you are so inclined, you could always visit PW to see the pretty version of this recipe pictured.  As for me, I'll stick with the Oliver Twist version.

Have a great Thursday!
