If you’re looking for a super quick side to throw together for dinner, this one might be just what you’re searching for. I’m all about easy recipes and Smashed potatoes is a new favorite of ours. No, that’s not a typo.. they’re not “mashed,” they’re “smashed.” 😀

I start by steaming a bag of small potatoes. Aldi usually has some steamer bags. If not, you can boil them or steam them by placing them in a microwave safe dish with some water in the bottom.

After the potatoes are cooked, I place them on a cookie sheet and smash them with a fork. Then sprinkle spices and cheese on top.

I put the pan in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese is melted.

Then they’re ready to serve!

These make a terrific side dish. And like my husband says, the only thing that could make them better is bacon bits.

So I guess I’ll be adding those next time.
