Garlic and Parmesan Smashed Potatoes – A Simply Wonderful Side!

These smashed potatoes are easy and so good you need to be sure to have at least 4 per person.  The recipe below serves 2 people – maybe!!  We found this “Hot Steve” salt at William-Sonoma in the Ponce de Leon Market on the belt line in Atlanta.  It has a spicy chili flavor and was made right in Atlanta.  The garlic olive oil is from the Kalamazoo Olive Oil Shop located in our hometown, St. Petersburg, FL.  Purchasing a few local ingredients while you travel turns a normal recipe into something special!
