Our neighbor recently got four chickens and he was kind enough to share some of their eggs with us. I have always heard how amazing eggs are "straight from the coop" and if you ask me, I'd say amazing is an understatement. We eat a lot of eggs in this house (ONLY organic of course) but these "fresh" eggs from our neighbors back yard were unlike anything I've ever had. The yolks were orange and the flavor was just so pure. If you can ever get your hands on some farm (or backyard) fresh eggs, do yourself a favor and go for it!
Because we were eager to try the eggs and I didn't have anything great planned for dinner, we had breakfast for dinner. This was a big hit with my kids! I had some chicken sausage in the freezer that I cooked up and I made these delicious potatoes that I saw on a cooking show.
I'm sure if you google her website, the Pioneer Woman, you will the actual recipe for her Smash Potatoes but I just winged it based on what I saw on her show. It goes something like this...
Boil a few potatoes for 20-30 minutes. They need to be fork tender. Once they're soft enough, transfer them to a parchment lined cookie sheet and then gently smash them down with a potato masher. You don't want to flatten them like a pancake but you just want to mush them down about a half way or so. Drizzle some olive oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 400 for about 20 minutes or so. I think I baked them a bit longer bc I like my potatoes nice and crunchy. These were pretty good bc the outer layer has a good crisp and then inside is soft and fluffy. Next time I make these I might try butter instead of olive oil and I might use some season salt also.
