Golden crushed potatoes are a simple but delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are made by boiling potatoes until tender, then crushing them with a fork or potato masher. The potatoes are then tossed with butter, herbs, and spices, and roasted until golden brown and crispy. Golden crushed potatoes are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, and they can also be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving.

Steps:
- Cover potatoes with cold water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; add 1 tablespoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until potatoes are just tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes (depending on size); remove potatoes as they are done. Drain, and let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Place potatoes on a cutting board. Lightly crush potatoes with the side of a large knife or your palm. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes, and cook, flipping once, until crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

- Once tender, drain water from potatoes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Place butter in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and place in oven for 1 minute or until butter is melted. Remove from oven and stir in pepper, garlic powder and onion powder.

Tips:
- Select the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for golden crushed potatoes as they hold their shape well and become tender when roasted.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This ensures even cooking and a uniform golden-brown color.
- Parboil the potatoes: This helps to partially cook the potatoes and reduce the roasting time.
- Use a flavorful oil: Olive oil or avocado oil are good choices as they add a rich flavor to the potatoes.
- Season the potatoes generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a classic flavor profile.
- Roast the potatoes in a hot oven: This helps to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Toss the potatoes occasionally: This prevents them from sticking to the pan and ensures even browning.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: Golden crushed potatoes are best enjoyed hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Golden crushed potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
