Project Description

My friend gifted me an amazing cast iron pizza dish for my birthday a few years ago and I absolutely love it!  The funniest thing is I don’t think I have ever cooked pizza on it before but it is great for cooking all kinds of things! It cooks things so evenly and nice and crispy when you want it!  You can buy one on Amazon here (ADD IN LINK)

These smashed potatoes are so easy to make and a compliment to a meal.  It is a rustic dish and can be served straight from the oven.  I even leave it on the cast iron which helps keep it hot!  Think of it like a variation of potato skins but better!

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut potatoes into thirds leaving the skin on.

  3. While potatoes are cooking place cook sheet or cast iron skillet drizzled with olive oil in oven to get hot.
  4. Once potatoes are soft enough to put a fork through, drain water off in strainer.
