How to Make Crushed New Potatoes
- Scrub 1 pound of new potatoes thoroughly and wash them.
- Place the potatoes in a medium-sized saucepan. Add 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 sprigs of fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme).
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
- Carefully drain the potatoes in a colander, reserving about 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid.
- Return the potatoes to the saucepan. Using a fork or potato masher, gently crush the potatoes, leaving some texture. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and stir to combine.
- If needed, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved cooking liquid to create a creamier consistency.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
