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.
On a sheet pan, generously drizzle olive oil. Place tender potatoes on the cookie sheet leaving plenty of room between each potato.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.
Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. . Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.) Add sour cream and chives and bacon to your heart's content
Thank me later!
Lovely blooms. The Hydrangea is very pretty and that Rose looks a little red to me. :)

Aren't those raindrops on the web amazing? Such complex architecture being built without human effort, right under our noses.
ReplyDeleteLove the hydrangea bloom, wish I could get one to open before the deer see it.
Cool diamonds on the web!
ReplyDeleteI saw those potaotes on Pinterest. They appear to be smashed potatoes with sour cream. They do look good.
Nice pics Sissy! I envy you being able to grow hydrangeas. The bunnies eat them to death here.
