And if I did send potatoes flying to the floor, well, I would have #1- been putting much passion into the "crash" part of Crash Hot Potatoes and #2- washed them off before baking them.
I did appreciate the attention to detail that The Pioneer Woman gave in this recipe. My only complaint is that the recipe was slightly incomplete. I would add these "ingredients" to it:

And maybe a camera and a good sense of humor, too. There were potato pieces ALL over the floor.
But before you think that my family went hungry tonight or that I had to resort to a Stouffer's Frozen Lasagna, I was able to pull off a super yummy meal. Ginger-honey marinated venison kabobs and Crash-Around-The-Kitchen Hot Potatoes.

Ahhh! I LOVE it! Thanks for the laugh! Just when I thought EVERYTHING went perfectly in your kitchen...at least everything TURNED OUT perfectly ;)
This was one of those awesome posts that needed retelling. Meaning, Tom heard me laughing and had to know what I was laughing about. You told it well. :) thanks for that!
One of the purposes in my life must be to give other people a good laugh...at my expense. ; )
