Crash Hot Potatoes

I recently fell in love with The Pioneer Woman.  Ree Drummond (aka The Pioneer Woman) fell in love with a cowboy and uprooted herself to his ranch in the middle of nowhere.  Ree has a website, blog, and most recenly a cookbook (which I own).  Her cooking style is meat and potatoes, but she also has a ton of other recipes that you might not expect to find on a ranch or cowboys eating.  Here is the latest Pioneer Woman recipe that I am trying.

Crash Hot Potatoes

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
 
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.
