CRUSHED NEW POTATOES
Crushed new potatoes with herbs make a wonderful side dish. They're boiled until they're soft and tender, then baked in the oven with all the seasonings until they're crunchy and crispy from the outside, but still have very creamy centres.

SPICY POTATOES WITH GARLIC AIOLI
This is my take on Spanish patatas bravas. The potatoes are tossed in a flavorful spice mix and then finished to a crispy golden brown. The garlic aioli takes it over the top for an unconventional potato salad that'll be a hit at any party. -John Stiver, Bowen Island, British Columbia

Tips:
- Use a variety of potatoes: A mix of waxy and starchy potatoes will give you the best results. Waxy potatoes, like Yukon Golds, will hold their shape better, while starchy potatoes, like Russets, will break down more easily, creating a creamier texture.
- Crush the potatoes lightly: You don't want to mash them completely, just break them up slightly so that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming.
- Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned cast iron or stainless steel pan will help prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Add the olive oil mixture last: This will help prevent the spices from burning.
- Serve immediately: Crushed potatoes are best served hot and fresh out of the pan.
