Awesome Smashed Red Potatoes image

This recipe of hand-mashed red potatoes with skins with a flavor mixture of bacon bits, cheese, and French onion rings could be served as a main dish if you are a potato-lover like me. This is the only way my family will allow me to serve potatoes in our house. The amounts I have suggested are only guidelines; you will adjust these over time to your taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like mashed potatoes.

These potatoes were a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

These potatoes were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I'll use less olive oil next time.

These potatoes were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

These smashed red potatoes were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I loved the flavor of the herbs and garlic.
