Squashed Rosemary Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds baby white or Yukon Gold potatoes

  • 2 cups chicken stock (eyeball it)

  • 2 small onions, quartered

  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Place the potatoes into a wide-bottomed pot and add enough chicken stock to cover them halfway. Add the onion, rosemary, EVOO and some salt and pepper to the pot and place over medium-high heat. Cover the pot and bring up to a bubble. Simmer the potatoes for 10 minutes, then remove the lid and continue cooking so that the pan juices evaporate away.

When the liquid is nearly gone, shake the pan to coat the potatoes in the residual EVOO and smash them down lightly with a potato masher (you just want to burst and flatten them a little, don’t completely mash them).

Let the potatoes continue to cook and crisp until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. This is one of many "Yum-o!" recipes – it's good and good for you. To find out more about Yum-o!, Rachael's nonprofit organization, go to www.yum-o.org.
