Crash Hot Orange Potatoes

These potatoes were out of this world.  They were so good.  Nice and crispy on the outside and all warm and fluffy in the middle.  The kind of reminded me of really good fries.  The orange flavour just took this potaotes over the top.  My kids really liked them (and to tell the truth I was a bit worried because they had skin on them and they are not big skin fans).  I think I will try them again and maybe switch the citrus, lemon, thyme potatoes anyone?


Crash Hot Orange Potatoes

Ingredients:
14 small potatoes
3 oz butter
orange zest
1 small garlic clove grated
1 tsp dried parsley
coarse sea salt
black pepper



Directions:
1.  Give your potatoes a seriously good scrub. Transfer them to a pan, add about 2 tbsp salt and pour in enough water to submerge them. Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes, depending on their size, until tender.
2.  In the meatime combine the butter, zest of one orange, grated garlic and however much black pepper you like.  Allow this to sit while the potatoes boil so the flavours come together.
3.  Once the potatoes are done drain and allow them to steam dry for about five minutes.
4.  Cover a baking sheet with prachement paper or tin foil to save on clean-up.
5.  Using a potatoe masher squash the potatoes but do not break through the bottom skin.
6.  Evenly divide the butter mixture among the potatoes.
7.  Bake in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes.
8.  Enjoy!
