Comfort Food Alert(CFA). "Smashed" potatoes with the skins left on for more vitamins. Veggies add even more flavor. Goes well with any kind of gravy, especially good with Smothered Minute Steak. Enjoy!

These potatoes are wonderfully smashing! I did have to peel my potatoes due to the season. It is just too hard to get good potatoes this time of year. I will be making this again in the summer and will not peel them! I added in some green onion for added colour. This will become a regular at our table. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.

    I made a mistake and peeled my potatoes and they were still very good! My potatoes were on the small side so I added 2 more and that worked well for 4 servings. Loved the bit of crunch from the celery and the onion flavor was great. Topped with celery flakes before serving. DH said he wants these again soon and I will leave the potatoes unpeeled. Thank you Caroline for posting!

    Very tasty recipe. I cut the recipe in half with no prolem but did feel that 1 cup milk would be too much so cut that back to 1/2 cup. I got every thing cooked and ready ahead of time up to smashing the potatoes - I did that 20 minutes before dinner, smashed and reheated - they came out nicely browned and very tasty - Thanks Caroline for indeed a CFA
