not tonight, but recently.

I found a recipe for smashed potatoes. so f*cking good. find these potatoes, boil them in heavily salted water. you want them very salty on the outside, a crust of salty residue upon removing them from the boiling water is just right (don't rinse them!). then transfer to a roasting pan. I only have this one very deep roaster, ymmv on cooking times. then smash them. I use a pint glass as you can see. break them down like so, intact, but smashed. then I drizzle olive oil on them, sprinkle them with fresh rosemary leaves (more is better. I harvested these from my little planter on the front steps). turn them over (the potatoes, not the rosemary leaves) so both sides get some oil and then salt them again. I have this smoked salt from the salish sea (the local name for the puget sound, oh so so, ever so, but the smell is intoxicating. ask sheldon, he got a batch for SS.) then roast them until they're crispy. in my oven, that means about 40 minutes at 450 in convection mode. halfway through, take them out and turn all of the potatoes over so the other side can crisp up. seriously, your mileage will vary. I've made this recipe a couple times. you might need a couple tries to satisfy your hunger. enjoy!
