Vegan Smashed Potatoes with Poblano Cream
Hello & Happy Monday!!
In recent years the smashed potato has exploded via Pinterest. While we don’t do a ton of potatoes in this house, I love all things carbs, so I was curious as to what the craze was all about. Believe it or not, it’s quite easy and the final result is worth the work compared to just baking or mashing.
So what’s a smashed potato? You’re simply boiling, then roasting, and topping with whatever your preference is. With smashing you’re reducing the thickness and enabling it to crisp up more. While it’s good with just a lil salt and pepper, it’s really good when you pair it with a sauce.
Lately I’ve been all about poblano peppers, and knew there was a concept there. Before I knew it, the vegan Smashed Potatoes with Poblano Cream was born!
Just like carbs, I’m all about poblano peppers! You can find at every market, they have mild heat, are cheap and just create more depth to any Mexican inspired dish. I’ve used them in a Poblano Soup, Corn Chowder, Corn Salsa, and more!
What’s fab about this concept is that it’s veggie packed, flavor packed, there is even spinach in the sauce, you can use this sauce on a variety of dishes, it even makes a great dip, it’s affordable, packs a lil hat, can easily be made in bulk, perfect for any season, and puts a fun spin on everyday roasted potatoes!
