Crashed Potatoes
I was in the mood to cook a nice Saturday night dinner for DH and I. We had grand plans to relax and watch a movie, but ended up having stuff to do around the house and running errands. Dinner was still good though. We had this with a bbqed steak and Skillet Braised Tomato Green Beans.

Ingredients
potatoes
olive oil
kosher salt
black pepper
garlic, minced
Italian seasoning
Directions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until fork-tender.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Line a rimmed cookie-sheet with foil (for easy clean-up). Drizzle a cookie-sheet with olive oil. Put cooked potatoes onto cookie sheet.
- Using a potato masher, gently press down on each potato twice until slightly mashed.
- Drizzle more olive oil on the potatoes.
- Sprinkle potatoes with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and Italian seasonings.
- Bake at 450 for 20-25 minutes until nice and crisp. Enjoy!
DH and I really enjoyed these and we will be doing them again. The extra-crispy bits of potato on the pan were really really yummy and a great taste of what was to come.
