There is a simple two-step process to make smashed potatoes. First, the potatoes are boiled, then seasoned and flattened before being baked in a hot oven.
I like to season mine with olive oil and freshly ground salt and pepper. As long as your dietary needs are met, the options for seasoning are endless. McCormick Steak Seasoning, for example, is fantastic on smashed potatoes, but be sure to check the label.
To Make Smashed Potatoes, You Will Need These Ingredients:
