Who doesn’t love to Hulk smash things? These potatoes are a great simple side dish and a nice way to get out any stress in your life.
Chef K used our ricer to smash, but you can use a fork or a wooden mallet if you have one. I recommend something that is flat, so you get an even smash.
We put a piece of foil over the potato when we smashed it because you don’t want to smash any fingers on accident, but be careful that the buttery potato does not slip out. We found this out the hard way as we played hot potato in my kitchen.
Keep your potatoes on your tray, not the floor,
