Simple Garlic & Feta Smashed Potatoes
"This was a spur of the moment experiment. I had a craving for mashed potatoes, but I hate peeling them (they say that all the nutrients are in the skin anyway, so I like to leave them on) and was kinda bored with regular mashed potatoes.
I checked the fridge and this is what happened. Every single time that I serve these potatoes, they are gone in record time.
Please keep in mind that I am a "measure by eye" type, so the recipe may need to be adjusted to suit your tastes. Enjoy!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am 25, and am mostly vegetarian... I do eat eggs, dairy and seafood. I really, really love Indian food, so if you have a great Indian recipe that is easy to prepare, I am all ears!
I live with my boyfriend of 5 years, Thomas and our 2 cats: 2 year old Alfie and 3 month old Indica. We also have a family of wild birds living in a beautiful nest on top of one of our front porch pillars, and a constantly changing series of wild bird "friends" who like to come sample the cuisine that we put out for the "Family". (Don't worry... Alfie and Indica are strictly indoor cats, no bird-hunting for them!)
