Smashed Potatoes

"I got this recipe off of foodnetwork.com. What a wonderful recipe. Another way to make potatoes interesting. I made them as this recipe called for and it was delicious. The next time I made it I made variations to this. After smashing them, I put on the olive oil and then sprinkled dill weed and chives and covered in mozza cheese, and served with herbed sourcream. So delicious."

  1. Very good. However I did tweek it a little since I don't really care for fennel. I drizzled the potatoes with basil flavored olive oil and topped with cheddar cheese and fresh chives out of my garden.
     
  2. I used fingerling potatoes and enjoyed them! Thanks!
     
  3. Very good. I was looking for a fennel recipe and thought this looked interesting. Super simple and easy. Made no changes or substitutions. Served with recipe #113483 and recipe #237133. I can see myself preparing these again, and trying some of the variations. Had some leftovers which reheated well: microwave until lukewarm and put in toaster oven at 450-500 for approx. 5mins.
     
  4. Well these are just gems. They are so much better than ordinary baked potatoes with sour cream in my opinion!! If you're baking 'em anyway why not smash 'em!! I did not have fenned seeds but I did use some celery seeds, granulated garlic, carraway seeds and parmesan cheese with the olive oil. Just terrific. Thank you CookingMonster.
