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.
