Crash Hot Potatoes
"Courtesy of Pioneer Woman, who got the recipe courtesy of Trish! I have made these several times now and the most important thing is to be sure to boil your potatoes all the way so they smash easily. I recently tried them using Golden Baby Dutch potatoes and they were absolutely delicious. Baby Dutch potatoes are super super creamy, so if you don't like that texture, I wouldn't recommend them. They are yummy using red potatoes too. You can't go wrong with this one! I also use olive oil spray on the tops rather than drizzling, just to cut down the fat content."

- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
8 potatoes
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 8 new potatoes (or any small potatoes)
- olive oil, for drizzling
- kosher salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- rosemary (or any desired herb)
directions
- Boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender. (This is very important! They must be very tender.).
- Drizzle sheet pan generously with olive oil.
- Place tender potatoes on sheet pan, 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. (One reviewer suggested using the bottom of a glass for this step. I tried it, and it works MUCH better than the masher.).
- Brush tops of mashed potatoes with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs.
- Bake in 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

I haven't lost 10 pounds, learned French or become more interesting, but I'm very good at making Crash Hot Potatoes. -
These are flavorful, crispy little morsels that everyone in my house loved. I also used the bottom of a glass to smash the potatoes. Used dried rosemary as the herb and served them with Recipe #290028 with the sauce doubled so I could spoon a little bit over the taters. DELICIOUS meal courtesy of Ree Drummond! -
These are so good! I love how the outside is crispy and a bit salty and the inside is tender. I made these as written. I loved the rosemary flavor. I think many other herbs would work just as well. Thanx for sharing! -
Made for DH last evening along with recipe #245591 - one of the best meals I've made in a very long time, according to DH - I used fingerling potatoes and followed the recipe as written, love the rosemary flavor on the potatoes - DH like the flavor & crispiness of the potatoes alone and with the gravy from the casserole. Will be making these again - thank you for posting Lakerdog2. -
Loved this, I brushed them with a sprig of rosemary repeatedly, awesome. thank you for posting!

I am a mom to 2 boys, ages 11 and 6. My youngest is a cancer survivor, so we enjoy each day given to us! You never know what can happen in your life! I have been in the loan business for over 10 years and I love it. Unfortunately, this economy has put a wrench into my awesome career. After a couple layoffs, I decided I need to do something else for awhile. I am now selling advertising, and it's different! I am thankful to have a job, so can't complain much! I love to cook. I can spend a whole Sunday in the kitchen just cooking away. I love trying new recipes (my boyfriend hates it. Lol. He likes what he likes and would be fine never trying anything new.) I never bake. I think it's because I don't measure. I am a throw-in-the-ingredients until they taste good kind of girl. I LOVE this site(actually, I am addicted to it) and am enjoying finding new things to make everyday!
