🧡 Real Talk: These Potatoes Might Steal the Show
After making this dish once, I found myself skipping other side dishes entirely. They’re that good. The balance of flavor and texture is spot-on, and they go with practically everything—grilled chicken, steak, fish, or even just a big green salad.
Trust me: once you try these Crispy Parmesan Garlic Smashed Potatoes, you’ll wonder how you ever settled for plain old mashed or roasted.
