These potatoes were so good! I've never had smashed potatoes before and I'm so glad I tried this recipe. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the peas were the perfect complement.

This recipe was a disaster! The potatoes were mushy and the peas were overcooked. I will not be making this dish again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

The smashed potatoes were a bit too crispy for my taste, but the peas were cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a good dish.
