CRASH HOT POTATOES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until fork-tender, about 12 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a potato masher, gently press down to mash each one. The tops of the potatoes should be really textured. Drizzle the tops of the potatoes with the olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes. These are absolutely irresistible!

LOADED CRASH HOTS

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water in a medium saucepan over medium heat until fork-tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and dry the potatoes completely.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F.
• Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Brush a potato masher with olive oil, then gently press down to smash a potato. Rotate the masher ninety degrees and press down again to create a crisscross pattern on top of the potato. (The top of the potato should have jagged edges.) Repeat with the remaining potatoes. Brush the tops of the potatoes with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and the pepper. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, flipping as needed, until crisp, about 12 minutes. Set aside.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cheese on each, letting it melt slightly. Transfer the potatoes to a platter and top with a touch of sour cream. Crumble the bacon and distribute over the potatoes. Sprinkle over the chives and serve.

QUICK RANCH POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the potatoes into 2-inch chunks. Put them into an Instant Pot® along with 3/4 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt.
• Lock the lid and set the lever to seal. Press "manual" and set for 10 minutes. When done, manually release the steam.
• Remove the lid, leaving the pot in "keep warm" mode. Start mashing the potatoes. Add the butter, cream cheese, milk and ranch powder. Mash again until the potatoes are smooth. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper or more ranch. Thin with more milk if needed. Serve hot garnished with chopped chives. The potatoes will keep warm in the pot for up to 30 minutes.

FUNERAL POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Take the potatoes out of the freezer while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients.
• Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, then melt 6 tablespoons of the butter in it. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to incorporate. Cook for a minute or 2 to cook out the raw flour, but do not let it color. Whisk in the milk, making sure to get out all the lumps. Add the broth and whisk again if there are still lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the Monterey Jack, sour cream and Cheddar. Add the hash brown potatoes and mix everything together. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
• Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small pan. Put the potato chips and Parmesan in a bowl and crush the potato chips. Pour in the melted butter and toss to coat. Sprinkle the crumbs over the top of the potatoes.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until golden brown on top and bubbling around the edges, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

SKILLET SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the potatoes, onion and garlic. Stir and cook until the potatoes and onions begin to soften, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Add the cream, then bring to a low simmer and cover. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through, another 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set the oven to broil and move the rack to the center.
• Remove the lid from the skillet and sprinkle the ham over the top followed by the cheese. Place the skillet under the broiler and watch until the cheese is melted and brown, about 5 minutes.
• Garnish with the sour cream and green onions.
