These are quick and delicious and go well with any meal. You can add garlic or some of the optional spices to vary the flavor to go with your main dish. (Note: the egg is a recent addition based on a tip from Linda's Busy Kitchen. It's amazing how fluffy the egg makes the potatoes!)

I love smashed potatoes and these were wonderful. I followed the recipe exactly as written using chives from my garden. They were delicious and easy to make. Thanks for another great recipe.

    Wow, these are great! They were so easy to put together, and so big on taste, I could hardly stand it. I don't know why in the heck I have never quite done it this way, but it sure makes sense and it is sure is good. I followed this exactly, except I ran out of sour cream, so I used what sour cream I had, and mixed the rest with yogurt / sour cream mix. Oh so good. I just smashed these up, added the butter, cream/yogurt mixture a bit at a time, and garlic powder to taste. To keep them warm, I put the mixing bowl with the potatoes in them and sat them right on top of the pan of water and stirred and were so yummy there were none left. Thank you, puppitypup!

    Wonderful tasting mashed potatoes. I used garlic powder, and italian seasoning both in the mash mixture. I love the fact of using redskins for mashed taters and leaving skins on. The taste and look is fabulous!! Thanks Julie~ Made for Spring 08 PAC!!
