Smashed Potatoes

This is a Rachel Ray recipe that I love, it is my go to for mashed potatoes.  I am a fan of skins-ON potatoes so I never peel them.

Smashed Potatoes

3 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
2 T butter
1/4 C. sour cream
1/2 C. milk
salt and pepper
optional - cheddar cheese, scallions

Cover the potatoes in cool water in a medium saucepan.  Bring them to a boil and cook for 10 minutes, or until fork tender.  Drain the potatoes, return them to the hot pan and stir over low hear to dry them out.  Add the butter, sour cream and milk and smash to your desired consistency.  Season with salt and pepper, then add in some cheddar cheese (optional) and some chopped scallions.  If you add the scallions, they are supposed to taste like sour cream and onion chips!  As Rachel says, "yummo!"
