Crash Hot Potatoes ..... I got this recipe off The Pioneer Woman and made them last night. They ARE as good as they look!!!



New Potatoes (or other small, round potato), Olive Oil, Kosher Salt, Black Pepper, and whatever herb you like. I used parsley
Begin by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil.
Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make, and cook them until they’re fork-tender. I put mine in a steamer.
Next, generously drizzle olive oil on a sheet pan.
This will mean the difference between the potatoes sticking and not sticking, so don’t be shy here
When the potatoes are tender, place them on the cookie sheet……Giving them plenty of room to spread out.
Next, grab your potato masher and gently press down on the potato until it slightly mashes…
Then rotate the masher 90 degrees and finish flattening it. Of course, you don’t want to absolutely smash it into the pan—you want it almost to resemble a cookie.

Next, brush the tops rather generously with olive oil.
Next, grab some Kosher salt. I used sea salt. And be generous with fresh ground black pepper
Now, you can grab some chives…or thyme…or whatever herbs you have available and sprinkle over the top
Now throw them onto the top rack of a very hot (450-degree) oven, and cook them for 20-25 minutes…Or until they’re golden and crispy and sizzling.
