Smashed Potato Recipes

Cheesy Smashed Potatoes
Rather than fully mashed, smashed potatoes are left chunkier. Firmer potatoes work best for making smashed potatoes. Similar finishes can be used for smashed potatoes as with mashed, including cheese, sour cream sauces, garlic, or any seasonings you like. This page contains smashed potato recipes.

This recipe is an easy one to prepare, is economical and the perfect partner to the Glazed Meatloaf. The two recipes go together like "Peas and Carrots" which incidentally makes a lovely side dish to be served with the Meat Loaf and Smashed Potatoes.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs. small new red potatoes, well scrubbed
  • 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 4 fresh green scallions (using white and green parts which you'll keep separated when chopping)
  • 1 cup sour cream (do not use reduced fat or no-fat)
  • 1/2 cup half and half
  • salt and pepper

Directions:

There are no substitutions for the little new red potatoes. They have such a wonderful flavor and are full of earthy goodness.

Bring potatoes and enough water to cover by 1-2 inches in a large pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, (about 30 minutes)

Saute onion white parts, saving the chopped green parts to add later. Saute the chopped white parts of onion only in the butter over medium-low heat. Cook the onion whites until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Prepare sour cream dressing by whisking sour cream, half and half, a tsp. of salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm.

Smash potatoes and finish up: Drain potatoes and return to dry pot, and allow to stand for about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, break apart the potatoes into large chunks. Fold in sour cream and onion mixture and mix until only small chunks of potato remain. Stir in green parts of the scallions, cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

Garlic Smashed Potatoes

Cook your peeled potatoes with 1 tsp. crushed garlic. Drain potatoes, mash as usual and add more garlic to taste. (07/22/2006)
