Potatoes are one of my favorite staple vegetables, and I think I can safely say they are the favorite of MANY people. We have a pretty good sized patch of potatoes out in the garden, and they were calling to me. So I wanted to create something new with them that tasted wonderful. While wandering through other food blogs I found a recipe called ‘Crash Hot Potatoes’ over at The Pioneer Woman. Initially I thought this meant they would be spicy, this was not the case at all. And they were oh so easy to make!
Crash Hot Potatoes
Start by boiling the amount of potatoes you want. I think you will want small/medium potatoes for this recipe. Boil until they are tender all the way through, but not overcooked.
Once they are tender drain them and place the potatoes on a sheet/cookie pan with plenty of olive oil, so they do not stick. Then take a potatoe masher or the bottom of a glass and smush them into little flat disks.
With a pastry brush, wipe olive oil on top. Season with salt, pepper, and any herbs you have around. I put fresh chives from the garden on mine.
Put the potatoes in a preheated 425 degree oven. After baking them for about 20 minutes (or when ever they start to look almost done), I pulled mine out and sprinkled them with cheese and put them back in for a few more minutes, to get the cheese all melty and yummy!
Now all you have to do is pull them out of the oven, and put them on your plate to enjoy! These taste SO good. They made a perfect meal with our salad and spring rolls last night. For the full recipe and more detailed photos visit The Pioneer Woman here.
