Crash Sweet Potatoes

For weeks, maybe months my sister has been begging me for sweet potato recipes. Today I tried a variation of the Hot Crash Potatoes I have seen on the Weight Watchers boards (which use small fingerling potatoes) using sweet potatoes. They turned out fantastic, beautiful they are not, but tasty is one thing they are for sure.

Crash Sweet Potatoes: Serves 3

3 Sweet Potatoes - Approx 1.25lb
1TB Olive Oil
1tsp Crushed Rosemary
1/4tsp Salt
1/8tsp Pepper
1/4tsp Onion Powder
1/4tsp Garlic Powder

Scrub Potatoes and cut into 1" chunks. Place potatoes into a pot and rinse with cold water twice until the water runs clear. Cover potatoes with fresh water and add some salt to the water. Bring to a boil, once fork tender drain the potatoes and place on a greased cookie sheet. Grab a potato masher and lightly press down on each potato, rotate the masher 90 degrees and repeat this step. The potatoes should be approx 1/4-1/2" thick at this point.

With a pastry brush or oil mister lightly apply olive oil to the tops of the potatoes. Mix all seasonings together then sprinkle over the potatoes.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes until potatoes start to crisp up.

Serve alone or with a side dish of sour cream.
