this makes a easy side dish for chicken,pork,or beef. this came from the Pioneer Womans' food blog via my sweepstakes forum. they smelled so good coming out of the oven I think I remember eating one off the baking sheet (purely to insure recipe integrity i'm sure...). you can use baby red bliss potatoes or the small dutch golds,both came out delicious.
12 whole New Potatoes (or Other Small Round Potatoes)
3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Kosher Salt To Taste
Black Pepper To Taste
Rosemary (or Other Herbs Of Choice) To Taste * i've used Mrs Dash blends and its been fine
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.
Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and fresh chopped rosemary (or chives or thyme or whatever herb you have available.)
Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown
*the instructions say 6 servings,but i'm just saying i know even lilmama asked for seconds and thirds on these potatoes. I liken the smell to french fries when they are baking.
