Smashed rainbow potatoes

If you are looking for a new fun way to eat potatoes, here you have it! Smashed potatoes are my new obsession. As you can see, I opted to use rainbow baby potatoes. Baby potatoes and lower in starch, therefore less scary when it comes to that carbs conversation. Honestly, I am not afraid of potatoes- these are not the carbs you should be freaking out over, but that's a different topic.

I find baby potatoes tastier, easier to work with, fun, and full of color and diversity. I mean, look at that deep purple-blue flesh! Also, potatoes hold their nutrients in and right under the skin, most often the parts discarded by peeling, so using whole baby potatoes creates a more nutritious dish overall.

Like everything else, potatoes are not for everyone, especially if avoiding nightshades, following an AIP diet, or an anti-candida diet.

RECIPE

Ingredients

• 2 bags of baby rainbow potatoes

• water for boiling

• spices of choice for seasoning like lemon pepper, black fermented garlic, smoked paprika, garlic powder, etc.

Instructions

• wash and boil the potatoes until cooked; probably around 30-40 minutes- keep checking with a fork;

Enjoy!
