If you have smashed then you share a connection with me in the secret thrill of smashing……

There are various methods to do this ~ I use the flat side of a chefs knife.

I mentioned on Facebook how much I LOVE my job. The fact that I get to take the simplest of foods ~ the potato~ and make it sexy.

I love to transform a simple character & turn it into a colorful piece…oh I love my job!

I used Yukon Gold potatoes for this. They are the perfect size….and great for kid hands.

Should they choose to eat with their hands. I like to snack on these straight out of the fridge.

With my hands.

Better yet right out of the oven when the cheese is all hot and melted. If you do that then please use a knife & fork so you don’t hurt your hands.

Enjoy!

  1. Potato sexifier… I dare you to put that on a name tag next time you’re at an event! Yes, you do have a pretty sweet job. I’ve done the smashed potato thang and I’m totally with you, it’s a riot! Great work with the photos of the process, too!

  2. I was looking for a new potato side to serve on Christmas – this will be perfect! Thanks so much, Marla! Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas. xo

  3. These sound delicious and I’d love to try them. I have one question: you turn on the broiler but don’t tell how long to broil those potatoes. Am I missing something? Thanks!
