Squished Baby Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot in a single layer. Pour in enough stock to come 1/4-inch up the sides of potatoes, and add the extra-virgin olive oil. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, raise the heat and reduce the stock. When the stock evaporates, squish potatoes to flatten them a bit with a masher. Crisp the potatoes a few minutes on each side, then season with black pepper. Stir in the butter and cheese and toss.
• Transfer to a serving dish and serve.

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.

Drizzle the potatoes with the remaining oil, season with sea salt and roast for 50 mins or until golden around the edges.
