Subject: Quick recipes?

I would love to get some new recipes for food that is easy, quick and contains simple ingredients.
I'll share a favorite one (not a main dish, but a potato side dish or accompaniment).

"SMASHED POTATOES"

Use small red or new potatoes - about the size of a golf ball or a little larger. Prick and cook in the microwave until done. Leave the skins on.
Place on a cuttingboard and flatten into a pattie with a flat spatula.
Heat a non-stick pan with just a little oil and quickly fry smashed potato on both sides, seasoning with a little salt and pepper.

They are crispy and salty on the outside and creamy and moist inside. I serve with anything you might use french fries or hashbrowns for - steak, lambchops, eggs, ham. They are pretty low-cal as potatoes go....no butter, sour cream or gravy, and they don't soak up a lot of oil while cooking like hashbrowns can do, (I guess because the skin is still on.)

I stole this from "Martha".........only she smashed it with an antique french copper saute pan and she topped it with sour cream and caviar!

They are really good for a brunch side dish to eggs....top with a dollop of sour cream and bacon bits and minced green onions. (of course....then they are not low-cal!)
