The directions were easy to follow and the assembly was simple. This was a very tasty and delicious side dish. I did add about 1/4 c sour cream and some salt, but this was not necessary, just a personal preference. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us CookbookCarrie. -
This is a GREAT recipe, very flavorful. I served this with steak and a simple salad. This is a keeper -
super fast, super easy...I boiled the potatoes whole (gramma would kill me if I did't) and I added in some roasted garlic cloves into the "smash"- I like it extra garlic-y. Yum yum. thanks. -
These potatoes were a "smash" lol in my house. Served it with beer butt chicken, side salad and garlic green beans. A great meal. Thanks for sharing. -
This is a super recipe. The Parmesan cheese gives it an added dimension. Loved it! Thanks.
