    One of the greatest, most requested way to prepare potassium-filled, budget-friendly potatoes

    Smashed Potatoes from Living Well Kitchen

    I feel so bad for the potassium-filled, budget-friendly spud.

    People are so harsh towards them.

    I realize that they are easy to overeat and that if you peel and fry them, they aren't the most nutritious side dish.

    Potatoes are one of my favorite sources of carbohydrates, especially for dinner, and these are my favorite way to serve potatoes.

    Absolute favorite

    And I've never heard anyone complain when I bring these to the table.

    In fact, I've had requests for these potatoes time and time again.

    They are crunchy & crispy on the outside and soft & pillowy on the inside.

    Oh my gosh, my mouth is watering just thinking about these.

    They really are that good.

    And they go with everything.

    Tomorrow I'm posting Goat Cheese Chicken and I intended to serve these Smashed Potatoes alongside them, but um... I kinda ate them all.

    I just couldn't stop.

    So my only caution with these is that you prepare enough for the number of people you are serving and only that amount.

    Smashed Potatoes from Living Well Kitchen

    About 2 medium or 3 small red potatoes per person is a good serving. Or if you are buying by the pound, use about ยผ to โ…“ pound per person.

    Your potatoes will be under 200 calories and everyone will be asking for the recipe.

    Feel free to pretend that it was super hard and make them praise your mad cooking skills before sharing this simple gem of a recipe.
