Crash Potatoes or Smash Potatoes - whatever you call them, they are delish!


Some people call them Crash Potatoes, others call them Smash Potatoes, either way they are simple to make and have lots of flavor!



These do not require much of a recipe, and you can flavor them any way you like, but this is how I usually make them.  I mix the following seasonings together in a bowl:


You can add any seasonings you like, parmesan cheese - or shredded cheddar, minced garlic..... be creative and flavor it any way that tickles your taste buds!

Cut the red potatoes in half and boil for 10-15 min, until soft.  Place on parchment paper, cut side down and smash gently with the back of a spoon:


Drizzle with Garlic Olive Oil:


Sprinkle with seasonings:


Bake in 400° oven for 15-20 minutes.  Garnish with chopped chives.  

They aren't pretty, but they sure do taste delish!!


Have you made them?
