Crushed Ranch-y Potatoes

Crushed Ranch-y Potatoes

I came across this one while searching for things to make with some red potatoes we had knocking around. Since we happened to have sour cream and heavy cream (things that are not typically in our fridge) it seemed like I was fated to make these Crushed Ranch-y Potatoes from Smitten Kitchen Keepers.

The red potatoes I had were larger than the ones called for, so I cut them in halves and thirds. They took a little longer to cook, but I figured they would and had factored that in. The sauce for this came together very quickly and I recommend getting everything ready before you start.

Even with adding an extra clove of garlic, the flavor of these was very mild, the leftovers even more so. I served them with accidentally over-salted chicken so it balanced out okay, but these didn’t really do much for me.

A pile of cooked and partially mashed potatoes sits at the front of a white plate. The potatoes have a white sauce with flecks of scallion. A small wedge of lemon and a roasted skin-on chicken breast covered in herbs are on the back of the plate.
