Recipe Card

Smashed Potatoes:

ingredients

  • 1 pound of small Yukon gold potatoes, rinsed well
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Guacamole, black beans, sour cream, chili oil, and minced chives, for topping

Cheese Dip:

ingredients

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  • Step 2

    Boil the potatoes until fork tender - about 15-20 mins. Drain in a colander and let steam for at least 5 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add boiled potatoes to a sheet pan and toss with olive oil.

  • Step 4

    Using a potato masher, gently smash each potato. (You can also use the bottom of a mason jar or measuring cup if you don’t have access to a masher.)

  • Step 5

    Brush the top of each potato with a little more olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast for about 40 minutes.

  • Step 6

    While the potatoes are roasting, make the cheese dip by melting the butter over medium heat and sprinkle in the flour, mixing constantly.

  • Step 7

    Slowly drizzle in the milk, and then sprinkle in the cheese. Stir until evenly incorporated. Lastly, add the Muir Glen tomatoes, setting aside about a tbsp for topping the finished cheese dip. Mix until well heated.

  • Step 8

    Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and add the toppings.

  • Step 9

    Add the cheese dip to a bowl and top with remaining tomato pieces and green onions. Enjoy while hot.
