SQUASHED BAKED POTATOES
April 12th, 2009
Whatever you do, avoid the dumb blonde potato Nadine.
Ingredients:
1 potato per person, preferably Agria or any other type suitable for baking and roasting.
Method:
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) fanbake
Using a pointed knife, prick each potato several times on each side. Microwave the potatoes for about 3 minutes per potato, or until 90% cooked.
Put potatoes on a baking tray which has been lined with cooking paper, leaving plenty of room between them. Squash each potato with a potato masher. The flatter the potato, the crispier it will end up. Brush each potato with rice bran oil, or vegetable oil. I find using a pastry brush works best. Grind some coarse salt on each potato. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden and crisp.
