Delicious Smashed Potatoes

"This is a creamy and most delicious smashed potato recipe! I leave the skins on for even extra flavor for this recipe, but you can peel the potatoes if you wish, I also add in roasted garlic that I keep frozen in my freezer, so good! This also makes a great topping for Shepherd's pie, russets only for this!"

directions

  • Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 13-15 minutes or until just fork-tender (do not over cook the potatoes or your smashed potato mixture will be very soft, cook only until fork-tender!) drain well and place in a large bowl.
  • While the potatoes are still hot add in butter and lightly mash.
  • Add in the sour cream and whipping cream; mash but leave chunks in the potato mixture.
  • Add in the chopped green onions (if using) mix to combine.
  • Season with salt and lots of pepper to taste.

  1. Best I have ever had,I used this on top of my Irish shepherd pie and it was absolutely delicious..I have a couple of this guy's recipes in my box and I just love them....
     
  2. oh man these are heavenly potatoes not certain how large the potatoes were supposed to be mine were gigantic, made as stated used 1/4 cup sour cream, YUMMMMM! thanks kit
     
  3. These potatoes are outstanding! I used Yukon Gold potatoes and left the skins on - it was delicious with them on. I used 2 T sour cream and all of the whipped cream. I found that I didn't really need to add much more salt, but I added lots of pepper. I served these with "Recipe#324918" but these potatoes are too good to cover up with gravy. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. Very good! I added some parm cheese after I tasted them just for personal preference. They were good on their own but cheese makes everything better!

  1. I made these for a family party back in July and just realized I forgot to rate them. 5 Stars for sure! I followed the recipe exactly except I used Fat Free sour cream instead of regular sour cream. Light, fluffy and perfect potatoes. Thanks Kitten!
