Crash Hot Potatoes by The Pioneer Woman


I saw this recipe by The Pioneer Woman and decided it would be the perfect side for some tri tip that I wanted to grill on Saturday for dinner.  They were so yummy, and easy!!  They did take a little longer than I was hoping to cook/bake but that's because we were all starving and ready to eat.  

Crash Hot Potatoes

Prep Time:  
Cook Time: 
Difficulty:  Easy
Servings: 6
 

Ingredients

  • 12 whole New Potatoes (or Other Small Round Potatoes)
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Kosher Salt To Taste
  • Black Pepper To Taste
  • Rosemary (or Other Herbs Of Choice) To Taste  *I used dried Parsley

Preparation Instructions

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.
On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.
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.
Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.)
Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.


**Note:  We decided next time we would sprinkle some crispy bacon on the top as well. Yum!
