Smashed Red Potatoes

These spuds are first cooked in the microwave oven
and then simply pan fried in a bit of olive oil,
the result is that the potatoes are creamy inside
and the skin is crispy browned on the outside.
Served with sour cream, butter, and parsley.

Directions:
For each smashed red potato:
Preheat a skillet to medium high heat.
Wash potato under cold water and pat potato dry,
using a paper towel works good for this.
Place potato in microwave and cook for
about 2 minutes or so until almost tender.
Use a potato masher to smash the potato flat.
Add a little olive oil to skillet
and then put in the smashed potato.
Cook until browned on both sides.
