My recipe for Smashed Red Potatoes is a recipe that is so simple I’m almost embarrassed to all it a recipe.  Smashed potatoes are an amazing side dish that everyone will love and you will giggle at how easy it is to make, yet you will sit back and enjoy every single compliment!

I used red potatoes, I bought a 5-pound bag at the market and they are a bit larger then I’d want them to be but to be honest it all worked out just fine.  I wanted to make a frittata out of the potatoes as it always brings back fond memories of my mom’s frittata as she usually used potatoes and ham.  I basically had leftover steamed potatoes so I got my electric pan out and melted butter, I then put my potatoes directly on the melted butter in an electric skillet

I covered the pan for about 1-2 minutes.  I then took a pounder and began to “smash” my potatoes

I let them cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.   I then flipped them…mmmmm…mmmmmm…doesn’t that look amazing!

I seasoned them with red pepper flakes and salt

Removed them from the pan and plated them
