CRASH HOT POTATOES and CRASH HOT POTATOES WITH SALMON HASH

Small yellow potatoes

Butter

Salt and pepper

If you're going to add in the salmon, you'll also need:

a pouch of salmon (or a can, whatever you have handy), sprinkle with any seasonings you prefer, and some more butter if you want.  I use a blend of onion/pepper/salt/garlic/lemon.  Dill would be tasty too.

To make the potatoes:

Boil potatoes in water until fork tender.  Drain.  Place potatoes on a baking sheet covered with foil.  Slightly crush each potato with a masher, fork, whatever to break them up slightly.  Put a pat of butter (or margarine) on each potato and season with salt and pepper. 

Bake at 475⁰ for about 12 minutes or until crispy. 

Options:  use olive oil instead of butter; top with grated cheese and/or sour cream.

To make the Salmon Hash:

Make potatoes as above.  After baking, scoop into a skillet, and break them up a little more with a spatula.  Add a pouch of salmon (or a can, whatever you have), sprinkle with any seasonings you prefer, and more butter if you want.  I use a blend of onion/pepper/salt/garlic/lemon.  Dill would be tasty, too.

Put skillet on low heat until it is all hot.  If you leave it in the skillet too long it will dry out.

Cooks Note: feel free to be flexible with this recipe – you can use any potatoes you have handy.  You can cut large ones into chunks and use that if you don't have any small ones.
