Lighter Crash Potatoes Recipes

CRASH HOT POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender. (This is very important! They must be very tender.).
• Drizzle sheet pan generously with olive oil.
• Place tender potatoes on sheet pan, leaving plenty of room between each potato.
• With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the masher 90 degrees and mash again. (One reviewer suggested using the bottom of a glass for this step. I tried it, and it works MUCH better than the masher.).
• Brush tops of mashed potatoes with olive oil.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs.
• Bake in 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or 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!
