I saw this recipe over at 101 cookbooks and thought I would try it to tonight with my coq au vin (recipe to follow).
Before I start, though, I have a confession. I see a recipe and I get inspired, and I remember the gist of the recipe. But, in typical man fashion, I don’t get directions before I start. So, this recipe was inspired by the one above, but it’s not the same as the recipe linked above.
I was very pleasantly surprised, and I think it’s a very tasty way to prepare mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:
- One small bag of small potatoes (or 4-5 small/medium sized red potatoes)
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Slice the potatoes into 1/4 inch slices and place in a layer in a medium, non-stick saute pan.
- Add the salt, cover and heat over medium-high heat until crispy, turning at least once.
- Add the olive oil and smash the potatoes.
