Smashed and Smothered Potatoes! 😍
Dear Friends,
Yes, I know potatoes are starchy and high carb and that they metabolize into sugar. And yes, green leafy vegetables are healthier. I just can’t help it! Sometimes we must have potatoes … and if you’re going to indulge, then I say don’t hold back. Just go on and smother some crispy roasted potatoes with butter and Parmesan cheese!
Smashed Potatoes are the perfect side for burgers, grilled fish, steaks … well, just about anything. Make sure you prepare enough for everyone to have seconds!

McCormick Mediterranean Spiced Sea Salt (Culinary Size)
McCormick no longer sells this “retail”, i.e. in our groceries, but you can purchase the culinary size online.
It’s worth it as it’s such a versatile seasoning. I’m also always sharing with family and friends.
