Yikes! Sorry I missed that recipe while I couldn't see to read. Didn't mean to duplicate the same recipe. I still have a lot of reading to catch up on what I missed.

But they are delicious.

I've never heard of "crash potatoes" until now.  They look yummy!  I'm always looking for a healthier way to love potatoes and this looks like it could satisfy my potato craving while being more healthy than the fried stuff.

But why are they called "Crash" potatoes"

they are yummy, and a great tasty alternative to baked, boiled, mashed, etc...........

nothing left here when i fix them up!   not sure why they are called 'crash' potatoes?

i learned the recipe from my sister's 2nd husband..........he was australian..........maybe it's just the way the are mashed a little with the potato masher?

I grew blue potatoes a couple years ago.  They usually don't get very big and would probably be interesting prepared this way.  The blue mashed potatoes just didn't look right to the adults around here.  Smashed and fried, they might look like a squashed smurf  :)

I just made these last night and it was a hit with the wife and daughter.

 I think this might be the new way to bake potatoes :eusa_dance:

yesterday we had an unusual warm up.........okay maybe 20 d............ :D i say maybe cuz it was probably closer to 5 d f, when i put the shrimp on, and it was dark....... :D

anyway i had a craving for grilled shrimp and crash tators.  i buy the large uncooked shrimp with the shells on.  so last night, just thawed the bag out,
tossed them in a couple tablespoons of olive oil, couple table spoons of lime juice, sprinkle with sea salt and a ground pepper blend. set in the fridge, fire up the grill.  i use a weber stainless grilling pan that i coat with a pam grill spray, throw the shrimp in that to grill about 6-8 minutes, toss a couple times......... mmmm, mmmm good!
sometimes i will marinate the shrimp in something, jack daniels honey whiskey, or louisiana hot sauce and blue cheese dressing  or a sauce called 'diablo'.
you need a bib and lots of napkins........ :D
tablespoons? i don't measure, i just use a large serving spoon......... :D

i have experimented with larger potatoes for the crash potatoes. it works, par boil them to fork tender, don't mash too hard. put your seasonings on, good stuff. i used some larger tators....i didn't do them on the grill this time, just in the oven, mmmmm, mmmmmm!

I finally made some crash potatoes about a week ago.  They disappeared in a hurry even though I'm not real experienced with spices and toppings. 

I saw some more of those blue seed potatoes in the garden section this week so I'm going to give them another go this summer.  My problem with gardening is that I get too darn busy to eat the stuff!
