Crash Potatoes - Two ways
By Foodiewife, A Feast for the Eyes
I'm a big fan of creamy mashed potatoes-- really, I love spuds boiled, deep fried, roasted and baked
- The recipe is so simple that you really don't need measurements. What you will need is:
- Baking Sheet
- A brush to apply the olive oil
- Potato Masher (you can use a fork, but the masher makes thing easier)
- Potatoes of your choice-- I like red bliss or Yukon Gold
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt (I never use table salt for roasting)
- Fresh ground black pepper
- Herb of your choice-- I've used fresh shopped rosemary or thyme. Dried herbs work, too
- Optional: heavy cream and parmesan cheese
- I've also seen versions using cheese and bacon
