    💭 faq

    is there a difference between mashed and smashed potatoes?

    Mashed potatoes tend to be peeled, boiled, then mixed with butter and cream to make a smooth consistency. Smashed potatoes usually include the skins and are chunkier.

    Ingredients

    • 4 large potatoes (chopped into small chunks, about 6-8 cups worth)
    • 4 cups green beans (cut into bite-sized pieces)
    • 1 large onion (roughly chopped)
    • ¼ cup butter
    • ½ cup cream

    Herbs and Spices:

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
    • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
    • to taste salt

    Instructions

    • Toss the potatoes, green beans and onion into a pot. Cover with cold water and then bring to a boil.
    • Boil the veggies for approximately 20-25 minutes, until you can easily stick a fork through the potatoes. Drain excess water well.
    • Immediately add the cream, butter and spices.
    • Roughly mix everything together until it is mashed, but still chunky.
    Tips and Tricks:
    1. The smaller you cut the potatoes, the quicker they cook - but that will also make a more “mashy” end product, which is still good. I usually cut the potatoes into 8ths to leave it a bit chunkier.

      Hey, good people!
      I tried this recipe, but I did not use all the ingredients... It was a winner though. My family loved it.
      So, I'm here to say thank you😁.

      Ok so I followed the recipe and the color didn’t match. It came out very orange from the paprika. Not sure I’m a fan of coriander. I have a pretty wide pallet but this recipe didn’t work for me. It was fun, very easy to follow but in the end not my taste.

      Do you think that would work in a Crock-Pot?

        Hi Michelle, I have not cooked this recipe in a crockpot, so I can't guarantee success, but I can't see why it wouldn't work! If you try it, let me know how it turns out 🙂
