Parm Squished Potatoes

IMG_1811

Another Hillbilly requested Rachel Ray recipe.  This was from the same episode as the cheese steaks.  Like I said, he can no longer watch the cooking channel.

Ingredients

  • About 2 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 to 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano, 2 handfuls

Directions

Put the potatoes in a medium pot in a single layer. Pour in enough stock to come 1/4-inch up the sides of potatoes, and add the extra-virgin olive oil. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, raise the heat and reduce the stock. When the stock evaporates, squish potatoes to flatten them a bit with a masher. Crisp the potatoes a few minutes on each side, then season with black pepper. Stir in the butter and cheese and toss.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve.
