Restaurant Style Smashed Potatoes

These were great. I think I put in a little too much sour cream though. And instead of the weird onion straw things, I added cheese. Yes I did serve these with that ranch chicken, it was a bacon heavy meal. Also make sure you cook the red potatoes all the way, I think mine were still a little undercooked so it made not quite as good as it could have been.

Super fast to make though. Once the potatoes are cooked it's a matter of smashing (not mashing) the potatoes and adding all the ingredients. And it's ready! So time it so that they are still nice and warm
