How to Make Crushed Potatoes

  1. Peel and quarter 2 lbs of russet potatoes.
  2. Place potatoes in a large saucepan. Add enough cold, salted water to cover potatoes by about 1 inch.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Drain the potatoes in a colander and let them sit for 5 minutes to steam.
  5. While potatoes are steaming, finely chop the white and light green parts of 2 scallions and 1/4 cup of fresh parsley.
  6. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil) in the same saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions and cook until the oil begins to sizzle (about 1 minute).
  7. Add the drained potatoes to the saucepan. Using a fork, gently crush the potatoes into the scallion oil, leaving some chunks for texture.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your luxurious crushed potatoes!
