Crash-Hot Potatoes

Recipe by Jill Dupliex





List of Ingredients



• 12 -16 small potatoes, any variety
  
• salt
  
• 1-2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
  
• freshly ground black pepper
  
• 1 tablespoon fennel or caraway seeds
  
• 1 tablespoon thyme or rosemary sprigs
  






Instructions



1. Heat oven to 250C (450F). Don't peel potatoes. Just put them in a pot of salted water, bring to boil, and simmer for about 15 minutes until you can stick a skewer through one without too much resistance. They should be just about cooked without being soft. Don't worry if the skins burst, it doesn't matter (can do them in the microwave).
   
2. Drain well, and arrange on a lightly oiled baking tray or sheet. Use a potato masher to squash each potato until flat, and about twice it's original diameter. Brush the tops with olive oil, and scatter with sea salt, pepper, fennel seeds and thyme sprigs (can use any seasoning that you have at hand). Bake on the top shelf of the oven for 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
