Squashed Baby Potatoes

Recipe from Laura Calder



Okay, this may seem like a no brainer, but I have tried this recipe before and it didn't work. I think the trick is to buy the tiny baby potatoes. You need to boil them prior to squashing as well. I took the liberty of throwing in some garlic, rosemary and salt into the water while the potatoes were boiling away. Once tender I brought them out one at a time.


The next trick was to squash them with something heavy (not just a water glass). I used the bottom of my pot! Don't press too hard either or they will break apart. Just enough until you feel the skin break.


Then line them up on your baking tray and roast away!



They come out tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Delicious. You could even try them with the juiciest pork chops ever!
