Ingredients
  • Smashed Potatoes
  • 2 packages of Side Delights® Steamables™ Potatoes
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup Buffalo sauce- recipe follows
  • 3 tablespoons ranch dressing
  • 2 oz crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • parsley, chopped (optional)
  • diced celery (optional)
  • Buffalo Sauce
  • ½ Cup butter
  • ½ cup hot pepper sauce
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450º and line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
  2. Steam Potatoes in a microwave, pressure cooker, or on the stove top. Cool steamed potatoes for about five minutes and then use the palm of your hand or a mason jar to gently press down on them to create the “smashed” potato. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 30 minutes. Flipping once in the last 10 minutes.
  3. Make Buffalo sauce: In a saucepan on medium heat, cook butter, pepper sauce, garlic and pepper until butter melts and it begins to simmer. Use an immersion blender or regular blender to emulsify. This step keeps the sauce completely smooth and helps prevent separation.
  4. To serve, pour Buffalo sauce over smashed potatoes, drizzle with ranch, and top with blue cheese, parsley, and celery if you like.
