Whole30 Smashed Potatoes
Buckle up, buttercup! These Whole30 smashed potatoes are pretty much the best thing ever. No, seriously. We all know that potatoes are the perfect side, and these are no exception. I just made these for Sunday family dinner, and let’s just say, we didn’t have any leftovers (insert smug emoji).
BUTTTTT … if you do have leftovers, they are great for breakfast (#putaneggonit), lunch or even just a snack with some Tessemae’s ranch (dunnnnnnnk).
