Crash Hot Potatoes

Directions

1. 1
   Boil potatoes in salted water until fork tender. (This is very important! They must be very tender.).
2. 2
   Drizzle sheet pan generously with olive oil.
3. 3
   Place tender potatoes on sheet pan, leaving plenty of room between each potato.
4. 4
   With a potato masher, gently press down each potato until it slightly mashes, rotate the masher 90 degrees and mash again. (One reviewer suggested using the bottom of a glass for this step. I tried it, and it works MUCH better than the masher.).
5. 5
   Brush tops of mashed potatoes with olive oil.
6. 6
   Sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs.
7. 7
   Bake in 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
