Crushed Hot Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a potato masher, gently press down to mash each one. The tops of the potatoes should be really textured. Drizzle the tops of the potatoes with the olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. These are absolutely irresistible!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Steam the potatoes, whole, for 20 minutes, until they are still firm yet easily pierced with a fork. Drain.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place a potato on the tray, cut a small cross about 1/4-inch deep into the potato and crush the potato with the back of a wooden spoon to flatten into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Try to crush it just enough so it stays together with most of its skin intact. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
• Brush the tops of the potatoes with the oil, sprinkle with salt and bake until crisp and golden, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. 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.
• 2. On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.
• 3. 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.
• 4. Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.)
• 5. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 15 mins until completely cooked through. Peeling the potatoes isn't essential, but I think it gives a smoother finish to the dish.
• Drain, tip into a bowl, and crush with the olive oil until broken but not mashed. Stir through the spring onions and the olives, then season to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place potatoes in a large pot, and fill pot with enough hot water to cover potatoes.
• Bring to a boil over high heat. Add salt and boil for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
• Once tender, drain water from potatoes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Place butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and place in oven for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Remove from oven and stir in pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.
• Using the curved back side of a fork and a cutting board, gently press potatoes to "crush" them. The "crushed" potatoes should break open but not apart too much.
• Gently dredge both sides of each crushed potato in butter mixture in pan and arrange in one layer.
• Roast for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and golden brown.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into cubes but keep the skin on. Cook in a pan of simmering salted water until just tender, about 10-15 minutes, and then drain. Add back to the pan with the parsley and some seasoning and crush lightly with a masher or the back of a fork.
• Add a splash of white wine vinegar and a slug of olive oil and gently mix in. Add more of each if it needs it.
