Steps:
- Cook the potatoes: Peel and cut potatoes into big pieces (that can fit in the palm of your hand). Place in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover the potatoes by an inch or so. Bring to a simmer and add 4 pinches of salt, a bay leaf and a smashed clove of garlic. Cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes.
- Potatoes are done when the tip of a knife yields a firm, not mushy texture. Drain the potatoes, discard the bay leaf, and toss the potatoes back into the pan over low heat to dry them out.
- Assemble the mashed potatoes: Pass the potatoes through a ricer and add them back into the warm saucepan. Add butter and stir to melt and combine with the potatoes. Add the milk in two additions, continuing to stir the entire time. Taste and season with more salt. Serve immediately.

PURPLE MAJESTY FORK-CRUSHED POTATOES
I scored on 'Purple Majesty' potatoes last weekend at the local farmer's market. Here is a very simple recipe from Chef Michael Anthony via smittenkitten.com. From the site: "There's a new potato in town, and not only is its flesh a rakish shade of purple that even Prince might find a little loud, but it's also really good for you. The potato was developed last year by Colorado growers using natural cross-breeding techniques that somehow resulted in a superspud containing freakishly high amounts of antioxidants." There's a surprise in store for you, too...read on...

Steps:
- Note: If you prefer, the potatoes can be boiled first in their skin then peeled.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the potatoes until tender, approximately 25 minutes.
- Drain.
- Place the potatoes back in the pot and using a fork, mash the potatoes.
- Fold in the remaining ingredients, sprinkling the lemon juice on top of the potatoes last.
- Did you notice what happened? The citric acid in the lemon juice "bleached" some areas of the potatoes a "lighter and brighter" shade of purple! Nifty, huh?!
- This concludes this week's science experiment.
Tips:
- To make perfect fork-crushed potatoes, start with small, waxy potatoes. These hold their shape well and will not fall apart when crushed.
- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and will not hold their shape.
- Use a fork to crush the potatoes lightly. Do not over-crush them, or they will become mashed potatoes.
- Season the potatoes with your favorite herbs and spices. Garlic, rosemary, thyme, paprika, and salt and pepper are all good choices.
- Roast the potatoes in a hot oven until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 20 minutes.
- Serve the potatoes immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
Conclusion:
Fork-crushed potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices to suit your taste. Whether you are serving them for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, fork-crushed potatoes are sure to be a hit.
