Crispy Smashed Potatoes With Dibble Sour Cream

Going plant-based is easier than you’d think, especially if you give our Crispy Smashed Potatoes recipe a crack! We can't stress enough how easy yet delicious this recipe is. You'll need some potatoes, Dibble Sour Cream, and a glass cup (yes, a cup). The cup is the secret tool that we use to smash the boiled potatoes, and trust us, it's a lot of fun. And if you follow our plating instructions, you'll feel like you've created a work of art. These smashed potatoes are best when they’re hot and crispy, so serve them fresh right off the oven!

12. Scatter and layer the crispy potatoes on top of the sour cream.
13. Using a teaspoon, add dollops of Dibble Sour Creamon top of the crispy potatoes.
