Are you wondering what ultimate smashed potatoes are and what that even means? Let me tell you.. that for my 100’th recipe I wanted to unveil something truly delicious and unique! This recipe is gonna knock your socks off. I use baby potatoes and roast them in the oven with olive oil until they are tender and then I smash them using a highball glass, season, toss and bake again. I broil them at the end and let me just say that these breakfast potatoes taste incredible! They are vegan, vegetarian, and on the Mediterranean diet. They are my new favorite comfort food and one of the easiest recipes I’ve ever created. I hope you love, love, love them! Please let me know in the comments what you think!
