Notes

Notes:
-Smashed potatoes oven method: Use light oil and cook in the oven at 450°F for 25 minutes.  I stuck mine under the broiler for a minute to get the top nice and crispy. 
-Smashed potatoes with cheese: Use a hard grated cheese such as parmesan. 
Here are some suggestions for alternative seasoning:
Sea salt, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, lavender, crushed red pepper flakes, cumin, oregano, parsley or a grill mix for meat.
