Smashed Potato

This recipe is something I found online. It seems that it is a lot of work to do but I just wanted to try since hubby likes to eat potato.

Ingredients:
Potato
Salt
Olive Oil

Directions:

Boil potato until tender. Dry it in a paper towel and smashed them.


Place it in a baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Season with salt and olive oil


Bake it until crispy and golden brown. Serve.


Well, hubby liked it but he said that it will be better if there's ketchup to eat it with. Personally, I like it but it is just take too much time to make it.

Peel the potato and wash. Cut in half (lengthwise) and then cut the half in 4 slices. (I always prefer a thicker fries). Spray the pan with cooking spray. Arrange the potato. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake in 350F until golden brown.

Serve and dip in a lot of catsup!
