Smashed Potatoes

This is the other side I made last night for part of our Shabbat meal.  It was easy to make and I liked the lemon zest with it a lot.


Ingredients:
1 bag small white potatoes
salt, pepper
olive oil
fresh thyme leaves
zest of 1 lemon

Directions:

Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife.  Drain and dry well.  Heat olive oil to coat a large pan over medium high heat until smoking.  Add potatoes in a single layer.  Push down to pop the skin of the potatoes and slightly flatten them.  Cook a few minutes to brown on each side.  Add thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper to a serving bowl.  When potatoes are nicely browned, add to the bowl and toss before serving.
