Crash Hot Potatoes

crash hot potatoes

 

Y’all know I love me some Pioneer Woman. Every single one of her cookbooks is one of my favorites! When I first read this recipe, I started to drool and I knew I just HAD to make it. And there is no maybe about it. These potatoes are delicious. This is the way potatoes were meant to be cooked! For the perfect crash hot potatoes, you just need four simple ingredients: baby (new) potatoes, good oil, salt, and whatever herbs/spices you’d like. Get creative pepper, garlic, cumin, parsley – you can’t go wrong!

Before I pass along the super easy recipe for her crash hot potatoes, I just want to share a few tips I found for making these crash hot potatoes perfect every time.

  • First you want to boil your potatoes until they’re fork tender. We don’t want them so soft that they fall off the fork, but we do want them done.
  • Kosher salt is best in these crash hot potatoes because it has larger grains, so it takes less for a big taste.
  • Baking on parchment paper saves you LOTS of work scraping bits of crusty potato off it later!
  • You only want to smash the hot potatoes  a little, making sure they stay intact. You don’t want them to fall apart!
  • Brush plenty of olive oil on top of each potato so you’re sure you get a nice crispy crust in the oven.

Don’t you want to go make these right now?! Do it, y’all! These crash hot potatoes are life-changing. That’s the Pioneer Woman for you… changing your life one potato at a time.

Crash Hot Potatoes

  • 12 whole new potatoes, or other small potatoes
  • Olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh pepper
  • Other seasonings of choice
  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook them until they are fork-tender – that means you can pierce them with a fork.
  2. Grease a sheet pan or use a piece of parchment paper. Place potatoes on the cookie sheet.
  3. With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes.
  4. Brush the tops of each mashed potato with olive oil.
  5. Sprinkle potatoes with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper and your seasonings of choice – seasoned salt is AWESOME!
  6. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until brown and crispy.

    Paula Deen’s Pimento Cheese recipe. I didn’t think I liked pimento cheese until I tried this recipe. It’s delicious and easy. I haven’t tried Paula’s Georgia cracker salad, but have been thinking about making it. Paula Deen has some awesome recipes! I love my Paula Deen cookbook.

    Stacy,
    You know how madly in love with Paula Deen I am (couldn’t pass this one up)! My favorite recipe are her Cinnamon Rolls. But, I also use her blueberry muffin recipe a lot in the summer with the blueberries growing on our property. Butter and sugar baby!

You can sometimes see her mouth watering!! I know I catch some drool on my chin when she makes chocolate deserts. My mouth is watering just writing bout it!

    I just love Paula Deen, and I am so happy she has been so successful since she started the Bag Lady. I have been to the Lady & Sons, and just loved everything on her buffet. My favorite there was the greens, I did not have to use any vinegar to season them. My favorite recipe from her cook book is the Strawberry Cobbler, it is so easy to fix and a wonderful way to fix strawberries in the summer.

    I can’t remember the name of the recipe but it’s a casserole that has shrimp and crab and lots of cheese and butter in it. Yum ya’ll. I guess maybe it was called Seafood Casserole or something. Okay never mind just looked it up it’s Shrimp and Crap Au Gratin.

    I love fried butter which means I love Paula Deen! She cooks the way I grew up with (until my dad had a heart attack anyway…) Her recipe that I love and make the most is Parmesan Stewed Tomatoes. I don’t remember if that’s actually what they’re called or not, but they are such a great side dish. Sometimes I make them just for me for lunch!
