Let's talk potatoes!

Y'all. I came across this recipe the other day as I was blog-stalking on the Internet.* It is seriously amazing. I know I call a lot of recipes amazing, but this is one of those ones that just CAN NOT go without being noticed. I found it on The Pioneer Woman and she has shown the light on potatoes for me.  I like potatoes, but sometimes they can be a bit bland, in my opinion. Try this recipe, and you will be so surprised how they transform! Just as an FYI, my photo does not do these justice. Please look on the above Web site for a better look. So, without further ado..

Crash Hot Potatoes

Ingredients:

6 New potatoes or other small round ones

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Herb of choice (I used garlic salt, you can use anything like thyme, rosemary, etc.)

Recipe:

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add in as many potatoes as you wish to make and cook until fork tender. On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place the tender potatoes a few inches apart. With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes. Brush the tops with more olive oil. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper and a pinch of your herb of choice. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.

I ate these tonight with Sloppy Joe's.** They can pretty much go with any meal, so eat them up now because they are awesome!

Have a great night!

*Blog-stalking is my new favorite hobby. If you have a few minutes check out the blog list I have on the right side of my blog. They are all pretty different, but are really entertaining. Now, if only my friends would start blogs, so I don't have to stalk random people I will never meet, cough.

**Still on the "no red meat diet" and made my Sloppy Joe's with ground turkey! It's easy to find in the grocery store, is more healthy for you than ground beef, and tastes exactly the same. Just don't be alarmed when the meat turns white as you cook it, ha. It is white meat, remember.. :)
