Tired of basic roasted potatoes? Then try smashed potatoes. Each bite has crispy toasted skin and edges. These potatoes have little bits of seasoning and buttery flavor in each crack and crevice. This recipe uses a mixture of mild and creamy red potatoes, buttery golden potatoes, and lightly sweet purple potatoes. Using a combination of potatoes adds flavor and makes for a pretty presentation. They are easy to make and incredibly addictive. A delicious side dish with steaks, burgers, or a roast.
