  3. Grease the Xtrema 10" Braiser Skillet with Olive Oil all around.
  4. Drain the potatoes and place them in the skillet. Using the bottom of a heavy, medium or smaller glass gently press the potatoes. Do not smash them, just lightly break.

NOTE

  • Red or purple small new potatoes might be used, or a mixture of all together.
  • You may substitute thyme, or rosemary with chives, or parsley.
