Smashed Potato Fry Up
Serves 4-6
1-1/2 lbs new potatoes
1/4lb wild mushrooms with stems removed and gently wiped clean
1/4 lb chorizo if desired
4 sprigs rosemary or sage leaves
2 tbsp each avocado oil and butter
sea salt to taste
Bake the potatoes in the oven on the rack for 25-35 minutes until soft when squeezed. Remove and place in a baking dish or frying pan coated with a tbsp each of avocado oil and butter. Smash each potato with the bottom of a glass, drizzle with the rest of the oil and butter, and sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Return to the oven or heat on the stove top for another 20 minutes until lightly browned and crispy. Meanwhile saute the chorizo until cooked thru and add mushrooms at the end just to lightly saute. Tuck the mushrooms around the crispy potatoes and sprinkle with chorizo if using to serve. Garnish with rosemary or sage and serve warm.
