Smashed potatoes….
with Suzanne Dunaway
- Boil 8 small new potatoes until tender.
- With a heavy object or mallet gently mash them into little flower shape. They will do that automatically!
- Mix olive oil, pressed garlic, and lemon juice with salt and pepper and brush each flattened potato liberally.
- Sprinkle with sweet paprika and bake at 185 for 20 minutes or brown under the broiler until crisp on the edges.
- Wonderful, too, for a little aperos addition with crême fraîche or greek yogurt.
ABOUT THE WRITER
Suzanne Dunaway loves “cooking and painting, gardening, singing, playing the piano, her husband’s ex-wife, her two very individual step-children and six step-grandchildren, and she has strong opinions about cooking with indiscriminate dry spices, sprouted garlic, or green peppers, and ordering cappuccino in Italy after 10AM.”
She regularly shares with P-O Life readers her PO-inspired culinary creations.
With many strings to her bow, she is also an artist and columnist, with two published cookbooks and a talented and exciting writer.
