Pioneer Woman Crash Potatoes

This is another great recipe from The Pioneer Woman. I like potatoes and this is another way to cook them. They required no peeling, and hardly any work, just a little time! Next time I will cook them in the oven longer, I loved the crunchy parts!
Pioneer Woman Crash Potatoes
  • 12 whole new potatoes (or other small round potatoes)
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Rosemary or other herbs to taste

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 with 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, pepper and any other herbs you may want.

Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
