Crushed Potatoes with Buttermilk Dressing




Given my love of new potatoes and a contrast of textures, I could KICK myself for not having found this earlier or figured it out on my own!  These potatoes are fabulous!  and oh-so-easy.

This is all you need to do:  Boil as many new potatoes as you'd like, until they are cooked through.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (I used a stoneware cookie sheet which doesn't need to be lined).  Smash with a fork.  Drizzle thin streams of olive oil over the potatoes and then sprinkle with S&P.

Place under a broiler until the potatoes are crisp and browned on the outside.  The recipe I read said to broil them for 15 minutes....mine were ready in 7-8 minutes.

Top with buttermilk dressing (dressing below) and chopped scallions or chives and S&P to taste.

BUTTERMILK DRESSING

3/4 cup mayo
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp dried minced onion 
1/2 tsp salt
coarsely ground pepper to taste
1 tsp minced garlic

Mix all ingredients.  Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow flavors to blend. Cover and refrigerate remaining dressing.

For buttermilk parmesan dressing:  Add 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese and 1/2 tsp paprika.
