And while you’re at it, look at her recipe for Crash Hot Potatoes<\/a>.\u00a0 After you see that, there is no way you can’t not want to try making them.<\/p>\n

I love roasted potatoes, but these take it up quite a few notches and are definitely entertainment-worthy.\u00a0 In fact, they just graced our Thanksgiving dinner table last week.\u00a0 However, like I usually do, I added my own twist to these.<\/p>\n

Pioneer Woman’s Crash Hot Potatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/span>
\n5 red potatoes
\n1 huge sweet potato, cut into 5 pieces
\nolive oil
\nsalt, pepper, garlic powder, dried rosemary, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, whatever you want, to taste<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.\u00a0 Bring a huge pot of water to boil, add potatoes and boil until fork-tender.<\/p>\n

Take a large baking sheet, line with foil, and spray with cooking spray.<\/p>\n

Place potatoes on baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them.<\/p>\n

Take a potato masher, and press down on each potato\/sweet potato chunk so that they are smushed a bit.\u00a0 They might look like potato roses at this point.\u00a0 In fact, that is what I dubbed them.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

(You might have a little trouble getting the masher to do your smushy work, like I did.\u00a0 Or maybe I was just having issues.\u00a0 Probably not the best pic to use as my debut on here, but\u00a0isn’t that a great “you-WILL-submit-stupid-potato!!” look?\u00a0)<\/p>\n

Drizzle olive oil and seasonings over the potatoes.\u00a0 On the red potatoes, I did salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried rosemary.\u00a0 The sweet potatoes got salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and cinnamon.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden and crunchy.<\/p>\n

Serve and swoon.<\/p>\n

As you can see, this is a very versatile recipe and you can use whatever you want on them.<\/p>\n
