Crash Hot Potatoes
January 28th, 2009
Stumble it!
I love no-recipe recipes. This isn’t my recipe, but when I saw it on The Pioneer Woman, I knew I not only had to make it (over and over), but also share it with you guys.
It is EASY and it is TASTY.
Boil potatoes, smash them, cover them with olive oil, salt, and rosemary, and bake them until they’re crispy. There. Now you know how to make them.
The Pioneer Woman uses New Potatoes, and I think those are a good choice. They’re small and waxy, which means when you squish them they don’t explode into a fluffy mess.
I, however, used regular organic russets, but small ones. These also worked just fine, but I did get a bit of fluffy mess. No worries, if this happens to you, just scoop the potatoes into rough piles and proceed.
In November I bought a pressure cooker, and I adore it. Especially for making potatoes. It’s not that boiling potatoes is hard, but pressure cooking them is definitely easier. They come out nice and fluffy and delicious, and they cook quickly and evenly. No soggy potatoes from over boiling, no splashing and scalding, just well-cooked potatoes every time.
Also, keep in mind that this recipe does require a good deal of oil and salt to be tasty. Obviously fat and salt make lots of things tasty, but when you’re dressing up naked potatoes, they’re really required. You can add more salt at the table if needed, but do your tastebuds a favor and close your eyes when you’re putting the oil on before baking.
Crash Hot Potatoes
Makes as many as you please
Several Smallish Potatoes, red or russet
Salt
Pepper
Olive Oil
2-3 Sprigs Rosemary
Preheat oven to 450º F.
Scrub the potatoes clean. Boil them until tender all the way through. If you have a pressure cooker, cook the potatoes whole on a trivet with 1 cup of water for 10-20 minutes at high-pressure, depending on the size of your potatoes. Turn off the heat and let the cooker release pressure naturally.
Place the cooked potatoes on a baking sheet drizzled with olive oil. I like to use parchment paper here to keep things clean and non-stick.
Make an X cut on the top of each potato for easier squishing. Use a potato masher and gently press on each potato until squished but not obliterated. You want them to stay together somewhat. If they fall apart, have no fear! Just scoop the bits into piles and proceed.
Once smashed, generously sprinkle salt over each potato. Follow with pepper, and douse everything with more olive oil. If desired, sprinkle each potato with freshly chopped rosemary.
Bake the potatoes at 450º F for 20-25 minutes, longer is better as long as they’re not burning. Serve hot! I sprinkled smoked paprika over them to finish, but I put that on everything.
Thanks, Pioneer Woman, for the awesome recipe!

I made these a few weeks ago, but I didn’t blog about it because they got EATEN too quickly! No photographic evidence! Ha!
2. VeggieGirl | January 28th, 2009 at 3:16 pm
Lovely!!
3. Mike | January 28th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
What a fabulous idea. I love new potatoes, especially roasted. This is a great new way to serve them. Thanks for the tip.
4. jacqueline | January 28th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
i made these too after reading that post! they are really good with from lavender ground up and sprinkled over them.
5. Tracy Warner | January 28th, 2009 at 3:22 pm
those are so pretty and simple. looks awesome :]
6. Amey | January 28th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
ah ha!
it never occured to me to cook potatoes in the pressure cooker!! Good thinking!
7. Melinda | January 28th, 2009 at 3:29 pm
Oh, yum, yum, yum! I’m also thinking maybe a sprinkle of nutritional yeast? I will try this soon. Thanks for posting.
8. Joe | January 28th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I wondered why you haven’t blogged in a while. I can understand that as a food blogger you eventually run out of ideas, and even though you have given Pioneer Woman credit for the recipe, I am a little disappointed that you couldn’t come up with something original.
We come to your blog for originality, if you are pressed for time, why not wait until you have thought up something new, before posting?
9. pensarepink | January 28th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
What kind of pressure cooker do you have (size and brand)? Love my Magefesa 6L!
I have the 5L Kuhn Rikon, which was recommended to me highly by Susan of FFVK. I love it!
10. Wendy | January 28th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
I adore this recipe too. Think it comes from Jill Duplieux originally. Tend to adore all of her recipes.
Have to say though, my own attempts at these have never looked as wonderful as that first photo of yours! Gorgeous.
PS Believe I am not alone in disagreeing completely with the previous comment from Joe. I love your original recipes but am also delighted to read about dishes inspired by or simply borrowed from other sources. :)
Thanks Wendy. :) I’m not too worried about Joe. 99% of my content original, but even if I just reviewed recipes all day, I provide this blog for my readers for free. If he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t need to read it!
11. kelley | January 28th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
oh. my.
i need to make these toNIGHT. this is one of those perfect “why didn’t *i* think of that” recipes. thank you.
12. Niki | January 28th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
This looks delicious! I must try them soon!
13. Betty Underground | January 28th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Wow and yum. Not to mention, I have total food photography envy. You have skils!
14. Shelby | January 28th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Oh. My. Gosh.
I need to make these now!
15. Chris | January 28th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
This un-recipe really turns humdrum potatoes into beautiful little parcels of olive oily goodness! I could see a little cheese going a long way here, too. Gorgeous pictures :)
16. Celina | January 28th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Lovely pics!
Question: do you think this would work with sweet potatoes? Is it possible to boil a sweet potato? Thoughts?
17. Elizabeth | January 28th, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Man, if I wasn’t afraid of using so much oil, I would make these in a heartbeat. I love potatoes in every form. Well done.
18. Celia | January 28th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Oh gosh Joe … stop being an arse! What’s wrong with spreading yummy eats around the blogosphere?!!!
19. Joe | January 28th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Celia,
Over 4,000 people have already read the original on Pioneer Woman. Vegans come to Vegan Yum Yum for something original. I knew everyone would gang up on me for speaking my mind, but think about it: If you subscribed to The Pioneer Woman and then find the exact same recipe on Vegan Yum Yum, you have to wonder…even the drizzles on the pan are the same zig zag shape.
Yes, these are lovely pictures, but they are so similar to Pioneer Woman’s pics. If you want to copy someone then fine, copy them, but you can’t expect every single subscriber to think you are fantastic for cut and pasting a blog post.
20. kary | January 28th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
mm that’s yum!
21. kat | January 28th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Thanx so much for sharing! I don’t generally read Pioneer Woman’s blog since as a vegan a lot of her “Cowboy style” food doesn’t really appeal to me! But these are fabulous and I would have missed out on making this great food tonight had you not chosen to share this wonderful recipe! U rock and never mind what haters like Joe say!
22. Adriana | January 28th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
I’m really into steaming potatoes… I’ll confess, the pressure cooker kind of scares me. I just know I’ll hurt myself some how. =D
23. Pearl | January 28th, 2009 at 7:26 pm
Well let’s see Joe, The Pioneer Woman is not a vegan site, and this one is. That means a lot of people who read this site, aren’t going to read that one. Not sure what you’re going for with this argument.
This recipe looks delicious and I’m looking forward to making it!
24. Joe | January 28th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Argh. I am not a hater. I am just pointing out those who subscribe to one blog and then see the same blog on another, wonder why it has been copied, when the owner of the second blog is extremely talented and usually creates her own recipes. That’s all I am trying to say. But hey thanks for jumping to conclusions that I am an “arse” and a “hater”.
And to Lolo, yes, you give this blog to your viewers for free, but so do 99.9% of blog owners. I didn’t see your point there. Who charges for blogs?
Good bye and Good luck!
25. Lolo | January 28th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
Joe, I’m sorry you were disappointed in this post.
Other readers, thanks for the support.
Everyone: it’s just one potato recipe! Let’s move on! It’s… er… small potatoes!
(Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.) :)
26. Tori | January 28th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
These look great. I bet they would be good with indian seasonings as well. I think my mom would like these even more than myself. Especially with the all the salt and oil. Mmm.
27. Lauren | January 28th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
This combines my two favorite blogs on the internet!! Fabulous! I made your banana cake the other day. My family raved about it. And they aren’t even vegans :)
28. jaxfalls | January 28th, 2009 at 8:30 pm
Well, I like ‘em and by the way, different potatoes were used so not entirely the same. And Lolo, didn’t you use a pressure cooker – that is different as well. I love potatoes and look forward to making both versions!
29. verydeliciousveggie | January 28th, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Simply beautiful! Thanks for sharing your inspiration! :)
30. joan nova | January 28th, 2009 at 9:26 pm
I saw them there too … you did a great job!
31. Kelly | January 28th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
What a gorgeous photo for such a simple dish! Yum.
32. Julie | January 28th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
I really appreciate your posting this. I don’t have a ton of time to check out blogs, so this and the ppk are the only food blogs I regularly look at. So, in my opinion, it’s really helpful when you post amazing things you’ve found from other blogs, especially those that many vegan readers might not see!
P.S. Made the eggplant lasagna last night…MAN. So good I’m planning a dinner party around it!
33. Pearl | January 28th, 2009 at 10:49 pm
Pioneer Woman makes me laugh, too!
34. Valerie | January 29th, 2009 at 12:40 am
Let’s see, Joe, Pioneer Woman got it from Trish, who got it off another blogsite. I would never have read those sites, and am very happy that I found the recipe here.
The pics here make these look delicious – can’t wait to try them.
35. Shannon | January 29th, 2009 at 1:56 am
Fabulous! I love the simplicity! I imagine other flavours would go nicely too… cumin, paprika..mmm!
36. Bev | January 29th, 2009 at 3:39 am
I made these tonight. I actually precooked the potatoes in the microwave, because in the middle of first cooking phase, I ended up taking my cat to the vets.
I used ordinary potatoes (I don’t know what kind they were) and I used dried dill. Both Hubby and son loved them. Thanks for the recipeless recipe. Original or not, it was fantastic and I wouldn’t have found it if you hadn’t had it on your blog.
37. Christopher | January 29th, 2009 at 3:44 am
It looks so delicious! yum yum!
38. ina | January 29th, 2009 at 6:26 am
A great, tasty and simple recipe! I haven’t got any ideea of what to cook today but now I know. Thanks Lauren! :-)
39. ren | January 29th, 2009 at 6:46 am
This recipe is one reason I absolutely love your blog!!! What a great, easy, simple AND yummy recipe!!! Found your site in a Meat out Monday news letter and so happy I did! Thanks and stay warm!
40. Ed Coffin | January 29th, 2009 at 8:25 am
These look so comforting. I’m not sure who Pioneer Woman is, but she doesn’t sound very comforting.
41. Ricki | January 29th, 2009 at 8:55 am
Stunning. And I bet they were absolutely fantastic.
42. Sandy | January 29th, 2009 at 9:43 am
I wish I were at home so I could make these RIGHT NOW.
Mmm. Potato.
43. Jessica | January 29th, 2009 at 10:05 am
I have been making these at least once a week since last fall! They are AMAZING with garlic and a dash of cayenne pepper. Thank you for posting this. I love seeing everyone share the crashy goodness.
44. Peter | January 29th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Nice. I love simple (and vegan) recipes. Best part is that you can scale this up or down easily. Thanks for a great site and recipes.
45. Alina | January 29th, 2009 at 10:52 am
Those were amazing, though mine did not look as good as the ones in the photo
thanks for the recipe
46. Joanie Simon | January 29th, 2009 at 11:18 am
Goes to show the easiest/simplest is sometimes the best.
47. anushruti | January 29th, 2009 at 11:52 am
This is one of those recipes from the mags you just browse through and when you read about it elsewhere it looks all the more special and interesting. Your potatoes look tasty and very appetizing. And ofcourse beautifully photographed!
48. Miss Marie | January 29th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Love this! And I love the iphone app. I just downloaded it and it’s amazing!
49. allularpunk | January 29th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
haha…there are a lot of things i make where i have to close my eyes when i’m adding in the oil. sometimes it’s just necessary! these look delicious, by the way.
50. Bianca- Vegan Crunk | January 29th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
That is a great idea!!! I love boiled potatoes, but I love crispy baked ones even more. This is the best of both worlds and they’re really pretty on a fancy plate.
51. LMJ | January 29th, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Thanks for sharing – I’m new to reading food blogs and have never even heard of the Pioneer Woman so… it’s new to me!
52. Molly | January 29th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I can’t believe people get bent out of shape for you sharing the HCP recipe! Ridiculous! It’s called the blog-o-sphere people… things travel around. I’d guess not a ton of vegans read Pioneer woman, and would be happy to try this recipe. Plus, it’s not like you PAY to subscribe to this site…. crimony, such a sense of entitlement!
Lo, keep posting whatever you want! This is YOUR blog after all! I appreciate your posts, regardless of whether or not they are your own recipe.
53. DJ | January 29th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Hi from a fellow pressure-cooker addict *waves*
Those potatoes look simple, yet delicious, and as I’ve just bought a 25kg bag of organic rooster potatoes, I’m looking for the best way to eat them to bring out their flavour. This looks like one great way…
54. Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) | January 29th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Just found your blog! It’s wonderful. Absolutely beautfiul pictures.
55. Alexandra | January 29th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Something as simple as a potato can really be a pleasure to eat…this looks great!
56. Cyn | January 30th, 2009 at 12:01 am
I made these tonight and they were delicious! I loved how crispy they got, while still being creamy inside. Next time I think I might try adding some garlic to them before baking.
57. Elise Feiner | January 30th, 2009 at 11:46 am
I’m going to try these as well. So what if it came from another blog. I write a food blog as well, and sometimes you need to showcase things on your blog from other blogs. You can’t possibly come up with new things everyday. Most of my readers and I myself am not a vegan (or a vegetarian) but some of these recipes are great. They wouldn’t see them, if I don’t post them. Always give credit, where credit is due, that’s what counts. I am doing a variation on your asparagus tart today and posting it soon.
I love your site, you just can’t make some people happy!!
Keep up the wonderful blog!
58. Ela | January 30th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
I’ve made something similar before, but these look amazing too! I think I’ll try them tonight.
59. Jennifer | January 30th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I’ve made those a few times from her site. SO GOOD! And I had never thought of making potatoes that way!
60. Cynthia | January 30th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
Not a vegan, but a potato lover. These look wonderful!
61. Wan | January 31st, 2009 at 6:47 am
Finally a recipe to use rosemary with vege, and one of my favourite – potato. Thanx Lolo!
62. Mallika | January 31st, 2009 at 1:17 pm
Looks absolutely delicious. I saw a twice baked potato recipe somewhere, but this would be a lot quicker.
63. Rita | January 31st, 2009 at 4:29 pm
Hum, those look really good, I have some russtes hanging around and I think this might be their destination….Thanks for sharing
64. Carolyn Blakeney | January 31st, 2009 at 8:05 pm
Lolo- thanks so much- this means we never have to do double baked potatoes again ever as long as we live! Oh my, this is revelational. I tracked back through the internet train; thank you for the links. Your pix do the dish the most justice. Simple, exquisite, and bound to become classic, what more could we want from spuds? I believe a moment of silence is in order…
65. The voracious Vegan | February 1st, 2009 at 2:54 am
These look amazing! I bet they are positively addicting! I have already written up my shopping list, I’m making these this weekend.
66. Anjanette | February 1st, 2009 at 12:45 pm
I’m confused about this bit:
If you have a pressure cooker, cook the potatoes whole on a trivet with 1 cup of water for 10-20 minutes at high-pressure, depending on the size of your potatoes.
I use a pressure cooker regularly, and I don’t know what you’re talking about regarding the trivet. What is it? Why do you cook on it? My pressure cooker is used on the stove.
A trivet is a little disc that fits inside the pressure cooker that keeps the contents from touching the bottom of the cooker. That way the water can sit underneath the potatoes without touching them.
67. Anjanette | February 1st, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Thanks for explaining the trivet. Maybe I should get one.
I made these potatoes this afternoon, and I don’t think I want to eat potatoes any other way now. They were very delicious (especially with sour cream!). I really liked how the skin touching the oiled pan got really crispy and golden during baking.
68. hannie | February 1st, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Today I made this crash potatoes. They’re smashing! They look wonderfull, tast delicious and they’re easy to make.
Thank you very much for sharing this (no)recipe. And thanks to everyone else (especially pioneer woman) who invented this recipe.
I used medium sized red organic potatoes (Raja) Raja is problably an European potato. Its a nice in-between potato: not too fluffy and not too waxy.
I’m lookong forward to crash “Opperdoezer” potatoes this summer! (Opperdoezer are fabulous Dutch potatoes.)
69. Delyla | February 1st, 2009 at 11:20 pm
I have never heard of Pioneer Woman either, so I am glad this is also posted here! Thanks!
70. ethan | February 1st, 2009 at 11:22 pm
simple yet beautiful! will try these
thanks!
71. Quinoa | February 2nd, 2009 at 8:07 am
I tend to agree with Joe above. There are “no-recipe recipes” that most people never would have thought of and which are amazing, and then there are “no-recipe recipes” that are just common sense, or a minimal variation of something you’d assume most people already know. This one’s not exactly a pioneer success, I can’t believe 70 people commented to cheer what is basically “crashed” rosemary potatoes, as if they’d never heard of anything like this, and won’t even allow one person to say he’s not impressed. Assuming that as an award-winning blogger you’d appreciate any negative feedback too. No offense, I usually enjoy your blog and recommend it often, but this is a disappointing post for any visitors (not just Joe and myself I’d assume) who come to your blog for its originality, of which the eggplant & pine nut rolled lasagna in your last post was a much better example. I hope there’s more of this ahead.
72. lee | February 2nd, 2009 at 12:36 pm
i made these last night and they were great – a good way to vary up the humdrum potato…we went heavy with cayenne pepper on top in addition to the rosemary and it was fab!
joe and quinoa, please get over yourselves and stop criticizing because you weren’t flabbergasted by the post. I read VYY to get ideas, as most of us do. I dont read pioneer woman and i welcome with open arms “non-recipes” to add to my arsenal. i make potatoes 100 ways…and now 101. I think it’s ridiculous to ask her to skip this post and just wait another week when she has something originial…I read this blog for entries like this! if you try a recipe and its terrible, let us readers know. otherwise, take your negativity elsewhere.
ps thanks for the intro to Pioneer Woman…NOW i might start reading her too :)
73. Shiny Black Shoes | February 2nd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
ohhh yum these look so good!
74. Jess | February 2nd, 2009 at 7:28 pm
To to complainers: it’s a BLOG. Calm down, it’s one post.
I saw these both here and at Pioneer Woman, and I think I’ll be making them myself soon! They look amazing, and seeing them on a second blog got me even more excited.
75. Claire | February 2nd, 2009 at 9:49 pm
I made these today with Yukon Golds, and we’ll just pretend that I didn’t eat 5 medium sized potatoes all by myself, okay?
They were SO GOOD. The yukons tended towards the fluffy-pile method, not excellent for dinner parties, but damn, they were tasty.
76. Quinoa | February 3rd, 2009 at 2:57 am
To those who can’t even stand two individuals out of 70+ people commenting on this post not being that impressed: Yes, it’s a blog, but perhaps you do at least agree that it’s not just some blog. And it has a “comments” option, nowhere does it say “only compliments, please”. It’s inevitable that an otherwise rather exceptional and well-known vegan food blog raises some expectations, and that some of its readers will be honest about being disappointed at times (e. g. by copying a not that original post from another blog centered on animal flesh, but thanks for the link anyway /sarcasm). Both of us “complainers” also expressed appreciation for the originality the vegan yum yum blog usually is known for. It’s called constructive criticism.
77. julie | February 3rd, 2009 at 10:01 am
quinoa, if you aren’t impressed because a recipe is not good, that’s one thing. If you are not impressed because you were inconvenienced to have to read this post twice on two different blogs, that’s another. you want all the other readers to miss out on a fun entry so you don’t have to read it twice?
and “…copying…from another blog centered on animal flesh”…seems more like self-righteousness than constructive criticism.
78. Cammy | February 3rd, 2009 at 5:57 pm
These are super good. Actually I love their simplicity, but never would have thought of them myself. They’ve become a staple after work snack for me!
79. kathy | February 3rd, 2009 at 6:52 pm
Yum! So easy. I wonder if this would work with small sweet potatoes, my favorite…
80. ttfn300 | February 3rd, 2009 at 8:19 pm
absolutely breathtaking :)
81. Justine | February 3rd, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Delicious! Thank you to both you and pioneer woman for this recipe! I served them with Chana Palak and basmati rice and they complemented the meal perfectly.
82. Quinoa | February 4th, 2009 at 4:15 am
@julie “and …copying…from another blog centered on animal flesh’…seems more like self-righteousness than constructive criticism.” How hard is this to understand? I dared to criticize this recipe, because I’m one of the readers who have come to expect a bit more than (s)mashed potatoes with rosemary from VYY, regardless of on how many other blogs this recipe can be found or how good it tastes. I did complement on the usual originality of this blog, and named an example. That is constructive. In addition, I dared to criticize that a vegan food blog (sorry, but yes) copies from and links to another blog which is focused mainly on “Big Ol’ Hunks of Beef” (quote from the other blog). Woe vegan me, how self-righteous not to love this. Don’t worry, I’m not going to disturb the rapturous delight here again, lesson learned.
83. Quinoa | February 4th, 2009 at 4:26 am
P. S.: I just only saw the blog author’s view on reader criticism (under comment #10): “If he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t need to read it!”. Nice! Remember to give this attitude a second thought though if you ever think of publishing your own cook book.
84. Diana | February 4th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
I make these all the time! They’re so good. I like to use the small red potatoes, they turn out so pretty.
85. julie | February 4th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
qunoa, what exactly is wrong with a vegan site that posts a vegan-friendly recipe borrowed from a meat eater? this is what i don’t fully understand.
86. Ash | February 4th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
I would like to say, thank you for posting this recipe! It is so simple, and almost, a no-brainer recipe! I made these as a side dish for dinner last night and we were ‘Ooohing’ at how absolutely delicious they are. I don’t usually visit non-vegan recipe sites and without you posting it, I probably wouldn’t have ever thought of it. So thanks again. Also, thanks for that crumb cake recipe! I’ve made it about 20 times! Keep on sharing!!

I love recipes like this – simple, delicious and comforting. Yum. As a roast potato addict I look forward to making them.
Also – I don’t mind posting of other recipes that are out there. If I see a recipe come up a few times it just makes me want to try it all the more! Several people think it’s good so it’s probably worth a shot – a bit like the chickpea cutlets from Veganomicon that I have yet to make!
It’s also a great way to be introduced to new blogs. I’d never heard of this Pioneer Woman as I come here mostly for the vegan eats, but I’m off to check her out now. :D
90. Miranda | February 5th, 2009 at 10:05 am
I finally got around to making these last night…they were fantastic. I am still something of a novice at cooking, so I welcome easy recipes like this one that are probably pretty difficult to mess up. And after reading through the comments posted above I also wanted to say that I appreciate your sense of humor in dealing with the expressions of disappointment. Que graceful! Thanks for re-posting this here, because I never would’ve seen it on Pioneer Woman.

I can foresee myself making this a lot – its easy and delicious!

Thanks for a great recipe. Mine are in the oven now ; ) And as far as posting from Pioneer Woman…well, if you hadn’t many of us would not
have known about this great and simple recipe. I love simple.
Keep up the great work you do. Vegan Yum Yum Yay!!!

These were awesome!
I also threw a couple of carrots into the pressure cooker on top of the potatoes and then smooshed them down down next to the tatties before throwing the whole mess into the oven.

I actually kind of liked seeing the reference to another blog. I read both and like learning which blogs other bloggers read. It’s like a TV crossover!

i had seen these originally on PW’s blog, but i was looking for more versions because i don’t have red potatoes and i do have a 10# bag of russets to use up! thank you so much for posting your opinion of the difference btwn using the two kinds, because that is *exactly* what i wanted to know! i also don’t have fresh herbs on hand right now, so your paprika and others’ suggestions were particularly helpful.
it’s nice that some people are so creative they don’t need specific things like this, but it’s also a huge relief that those of us who might be a little kitchen-challenged CAN find simple tweaks like the ones you made. this is your first recipe i’ve seen, but from the comments it sounds like you do a great job of combining both worlds here. thanks!

Joe, how many vegans looks at Pioneer Woman’s blog? I don’t, so if VeganYumYum had never posted it I would have never been able to make this delicious recipe. Why is the negativity necessary?
107. ltraider | April 8th, 2009 at 12:11 am
I too have made this recipe after seeing it on Pioneer Women’s Blog. Everytime I make it I get tons of compliments.

Try putting “Dukkah” on those spuds. Nuts, seeds and spices! I found it online at Juliet Mae Spices.
109. Anna | May 10th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
I have to say, I made these for our Mom Day BBQ and they were INCREDIBLE. Piled on the garden rosemary, sooooo good :)

Should I be concerned that on the package of my parchment paper it says it is only safe up to 420 degrees and not 450? What the heck, fire roasted is always good!
112. hannie | July 19th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
After enjoying these potatoes several times at home, last week I made them for a group of 15. (I did the cooking during a yogaweek) They all loved them and its’s very easy to make for a big group. (As long as you have a really big oven; I had a huge one).
They also loved the slow rise pancakes at breakfast on the last day. The few ones left, have been carefully wrapped and taken home.

I love all things potato and these are great! I had a little trouble smashing them and making them look as great as yours did but you gobble them up in the end anyways, so who really cares?
I would also add a bit of pressed garlic on top for that bit of a kick but then again, I add garlic to almost everything. These go great with a side of salad :)
115. Jennifer | October 5th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I never post comments – ever – but I have to say that these were so amazingly tasty that I had to say thanks for posting – I too would never have found these had it not been for your site (& ipod app!) Thank you thank you thank you – I will share the love :)
