POTATOES... TRASH POTATOES

Steps:

• Brown and drain the bacon, discarding the grease. Microwave the sliced potatoes until tender. Place butter and potatoes in a very large skillet or griddle and fry for approximately fifteen minutes until brown. Season potatoes with the seasoned salt and pepper while frying.
• Add the onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and both type peppers to the potatoes, frying for an additional ten to fifteen minutes or so until well browned. Crumble the fried bacon and stir both the bacon and the ham into your potatoes.
• In a separate bowl mix together the eggs and milk with a fork and then pour this over your potato mixture. Stir and cook the egg and potato mixture until the eggs are done, similar to if scrambling eggs.
• Divide into four equal servings, putting one serving on each plate. Top each serving with two pieces of cheese, cover, and then microwave each serving only until cheese is melted.

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!

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.

• 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.

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.
