I was looking for a quick and easy side dish for dinner last night and was craving potatoes. Mashed potatoes would have taken too long, are more involved, and requiered more energy than I was willing to expend. French fries are ALWAYS an option, but I already eat too many of them. I’ve wanted to try smashing some little creamer potatoes, so I thought there was no better night. Boy, did these little guys turn out spectacular! They’re browned and crispy on the bottom, full of flavor from the garlic, salt, and pepper, and ridiculously hard to stop eating. They’re addicting. I love developing recipes that are simple, quick, and versatile. These smashed potatoes take no effort to make, and they’re so fun to smash. I used a mason jar, but you can use any flat bottom cup or mug. Then squish, squish, squish! We ate them with a saucy one-skillet chicken dish, but they'd also go perfectly with a nice juicy steak.
