Crash Hot Potatoes

From The Pioneer Woman (Have you discovered this woman? She's amazing!)



Ingredients:
New Potatoes
Olive Oil
Salt & pepper
Other herbs (your choice)

Directions:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in the potatoes and cook until fork-tender. On a sheet pan, drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the sheet, leaving plenty of room between each potato. With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the masher 90 degrees and mash again. Brush the tops of each potato with more olive oil. Sprinkle potatoes with salt, pepper, and whatever herb combination you want. Bake in a 450 degree overn for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Comments:
I kind of cheated by cooking the potatoes in the microwave rather than on the stove-top. Bad Martha. I used garlic salt and Italian seasoning. These were so simple, and a nice change up from the usual oven-baked potato wedges I ususally make. Adam was unsure, but he ate the two I gave him with some sour cream on top.
