Butter And Parm Squished Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes and cook, unpeeled, in boiling salted water until tender. Drain. When cool enough to touch, squish them flat using a coffee cup or ramekin. Don't let them explode, just flatten until the edges break a bit, but they are still in one piece. Toss in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until crisp outside and soft inside, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with the oil, lemon juice and pepper in a medium bowl; season liberally with salt. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender and the skins start to loosen from the insides, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, sour cream and lemon zest with a wooden spoon. Season with some salt and pepper.
• When the potatoes are done, use a fork slice to slice halfway through the potatoes lengthwise, and push the ends together. This will make the insides fluff up. Top each potato with some sour cream butter and a 1/2 teaspoon or so of caviar and chives, and serve hot. (You can also cool the potatoes slightly before topping¿the sour cream butter won't melt¿They are delicious both ways!)
