Day 9: Crash Hot Potatoes

Day 9.

This recipe comes from Ree, The Pioneer Woman. You can check out her website here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/
I love, love, love her site. And her cookbook. I even went to the cookbook signing.

Here's what you'll need for these.
Photobucket
Red potatoes
Some olive oil
Spices

Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Boil the potatoes until fork tender.

Photobucket
After your potatoes are done, pour some olive oil onto a baking sheet.

Photobucket
Use a pastry brush to really spread the oil around.

Photobucket
Take the potatoes out of the water, and put them on the baking sheet.

Photobucket
Using your potato masher, crash 'em down just until the skins pop open.

Photobucket
Douse them in olive oil again, then sprinkle on some spices. We usually do garlic powder and sometimes parsley. I've also made them with rosemary.

Photobucket
Bake them in a preheated 450* degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the skin gets nice and crispy. Sometimes we like to top these with shredded cheese and pop them back under the broiler until the cheese is melty. MMMMmmm. Gotta love that PW. :)

It is taking lots of work, but I'm having fun so far. We'll see if it is still fun in a couple more weeks. :)

I'll be sure to check out your blog as well.
