Crushed Potatoes Recipes

BUTTERY ROASTED CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place potatoes in a large pot, and fill pot with enough hot water to cover potatoes.
• Bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt and boil for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
• Once tender, drain water from potatoes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Place butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and place in oven for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Remove from oven and stir in pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
• Using the curved back side of a fork and a cutting board, gently press potatoes to "crush" them. The "crushed" potatoes should break open but not apart too much.
• Gently dredge both sides of each crushed potato in butter mixture in pan and arrange in one layer.
• Roast for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.

CRUSHED NEW POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil slightly salted water, then throw your baby potatoes into the pot. Leave them to cook for 15-20 minutes or until they're cooked through and soft.
• Grease your baking tray with olive oil, and get the potatoes out of the pot and onto the baking tray.
• Lightly crush the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher, but make sure not to over do it as you don't want really flat pieces of potato all over your baking sheet.
• Using the excess olive oil on the baking tray, light brush the potatoes with the olive oil.
• Season with freshly ground black pepper, and sea salt.
• Sprinkle with either dried or fresh herbs and garlic.
• Bake in the oven for 10-15 more minutes at 200°C (392°F). The baking time depends on the size of your potatoes, so keep checking on them as they bake.
• Served Immediately.

CRUSHED SOUR CREAM POTATOES

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. (This step can be done ahead of time; keep potatoes covered and warm on the stovetop.)
• Meanwhile, in a medium pot over medium heat, gently simmer the cream and the garlic until garlic is completely tender and cream is reduced by about a third (it will look slightly thicker, about the consistency of melted ice cream), 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and lots of pepper. Add butter and swirl to melt. (This can also be done ahead; rewarm before proceeding.)
• Using your hands or something like a small dish or bowl, crush the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Pour cream mixture over the potatoes, and season with salt and more pepper. Toss to coat, encouraging the potatoes to break down slightly but remain textured and chunky.
• Stir in sour cream, half the chives and half the dill. Transfer to a large serving bowl and top with remaining chives and dill, and more black pepper and sour cream, if you like.

CRUSHED YUKON GOLD POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with cold water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; add 1 tablespoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes (depending on size); remove potatoes as they are done. Drain, and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Place potatoes on a cutting board. Lightly crush potatoes with the side of a large knife or your palm. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, and cook, flipping once, until crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley.

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.

CRUSHED BABY POTATOES WITH SARDINES, CELERY AND DILL

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in salted water until they're completely tender, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size of the potato. Drain and let sit about 10 minutes or so, until they're cool enough to crush with your hands or another implement.
• Meanwhile, combine the olive oil, 1/4 cup dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest and half the scallions in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and more lemon juice to taste, as needed.
• Scatter the potatoes and celery on a large serving platter or in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the olive oil mixture over.
• Top with the celery leaves, remaining scallions, more dill and more black pepper. Serve with sardines or anchovies alongside or scattered over the top, if desired.

SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a saucepan, fill with water to cover the potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the potatoes until tender but not mushy, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to cool.
• While potatoes are cooking, combine olive oil, butter, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, sage, thyme, savory, sea salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir with a fork to combine well.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and lightly press down on the potatoes to partially crush them. Spoon the oil-herb mixture over each potato.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the potatoes are beginning to crisp, about 25 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

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:

• Peel potatoes and quarter.
• In a saucepan cover potatoes with cold salted water by 1 inch and simmer 15 minutes, or until just tender.
• Drain potatoes in a colander and let stand 5 minutes.
• Finely chop white and light green parts of scallions. Finely chop parsley.
• In saucepan heat oil and chopped scallions over moderate heat until oil begins to sizzle and add potatoes.
• With a fork lightly crush potatoes into scallion oil (do not mash completely). Season potatoes with salt and pepper and stir in parsley.

SALT AND PEPPER CRUSHED POTATOES WITH LEMON DILL MAYO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cut any larger potatoes in half so they are all roughly the same size. Put into a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and gently simmer until fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well using a colander.
• Tip the potatoes out onto a baking sheet and press each one down in the middle with a potato masher or your thumb to crush it. (Let cool slightly before crushing if using your thumb.)
• Drizzle the olive oil over and sprinkle with a couple pinches of salt and pepper. Gently toss each potato in the seasoning.
• Bake the potatoes, flipping them halfway through, until crispy and golden, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with the Lemon Dill Mayo.
• Add the mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl. Mix well to combine.

GOLDEN CRUSHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Steam the potatoes, whole, for 20 minutes, until they are still firm yet easily pierced with a fork. Drain.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place a potato on the tray, cut a small cross about 1/4-inch deep into the potato and crush the potato with the back of a wooden spoon to flatten into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Try to crush it just enough so it stays together with most of its skin intact. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Brush the tops of the potatoes with the oil, sprinkle with salt and bake until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes.

CRUSHED POTATOES WITH ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling water in large saucepan 20 to 25 min. or until tender; drain.
• Add garlic, butter and pepper; mash roughly so that potatoes remain in large pieces.
• Sprinkle with cheese before serving.
