Smashed Mexican Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, place potatoes; add enough water to cover potatoes. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 14 to 18 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork; drain. Return potatoes to saucepan; shake saucepan gently over low heat 1 to 2 minutes to evaporate any excess moisture; remove from heat. Mash potatoes with fork or potato masher, leaving some potato pieces in chunks.
• In small microwavable bowl, combine beans and corn. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave on High 2 to 3 minutes or until hot.

Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
