1 tbsp crushed red pepper

1 tsp kosher salt

1 tbsp dry rosemary, crushed

1/4 c olive oil

Pioneer Woman's Crash Hot Potatoes

Oh my goodness, so yummy.  Mine looked nothing like Pioneer Woman's though.  :)

Ingredients:

• new potatoes (we made a batch of 20)
• 3 T olive oil
• kosher salt (to taste)
• pepper (to taste)
• Italian seasoning (to taste) - PW uses rosemary

Preparation:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; add potatoes and boil 10-15 minutes, until they can be easily pierced with a fork.
• Preheat the oven to 450.
• In a jelly roll pan, spray Pam to coat.  Place the potatoes on the pan, leaving space between them.
• Smash the potatoes down with a potato masher until it slightly mashes.  Rotate the masher and smash a bit more.  Brush the tops with olive oil.
• Sprinkle potatoes with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
• Bake at 450 for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
