This is a simple potato dish that you can make with new potatoes or leftovers. The key is what fat you want to use. My personal favorite is bacon fat.

Cooking Instructions

Set oven to 450°F. Line a pan with foil and drizzle half of the garlic olive oil over the foil. Place the 6 potatoes in the pan and using a potato masher or a cup push down on each potato to smash it down and open. Brush the remaining garlic oil over the potatoes. Season potatoes with salt and pepper. Drizzle the bacon fat over the potatoes. Sprinkle the herbs and Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes start browning.

When done remove from oven and plate. Serve and enjoy. (Note: we usually serve with chopped green onions sprinkled on top but we were out when I made this)

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.

I had some red potatoes that were a little on the small side. I was going to make “Cottage Fries” and decided against it. I thought, “Why don’t I just smash these damned things and fry them whole”? It worked out great, nice and crispy.

Crispy Smashed herbed potatoes Crispy Smashed herbed potatoes
Super easy! Microwaving the potatoes instead of boiling them reduces time and also the chances of the potatoes becoming too wet before they roast. Throw in whatever herbs you fancy and baked till crispy! We love the slightly charred crispy bits. Smashing the potatoes creates even more crispy bits!!Served with baked salmon and roasted asparagus 🤤🤤

Mashed Potatoes Mashed Potatoes
Why use store bought mashed potatoes when you can make your own with 3 basic ingredients? It's fast, easy and delicious !Note: Milk should be added in intervals to avoid making runny mashed potatoes. Consider adding a little extra milk at the end since some of it will evaporate as the mash potatoes cool down.

Special Potatoes Special Potatoes
My nephew dubbed these potatoes ‘special potatoes’ 30 years ago. Every time he came to my house, this is what he wanted with supper. I’m still making them. It came out of stewed potatoes. When I want something similar to the center of a baked potato, but don’t want to wait that long to bake it, I make these. Use a thin skinned potato that you don’t have to peel or peel your potatoes. It’s up to you!

Smashed Vinegar & Salt Crispy Potatoes Smashed Vinegar & Salt Crispy Potatoes
This turned out to be pretty awesome. I used small red potatoes this time, but any small potato should work. I just prefer red for this. They were crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside. Slightly sweet, slightly acid, just a hint of salt. It is a long cook, but so worth it. You really need to try this one.

I love using my rice cooker for making a one bowl mashed potatoes. All the flavors blend together beautifully leaving me able to finish the rest of the meal. If you want to serve this with children in the house, just omit the wine. You'll still enjoy this wonderful mash.
