EASY GARLIC SMASHED POTATOES
Easy and creamy smashed potatoes with a garlic kick? Oh yaaaas! Everyone goes crazy for these. If you are a #garliclover just add more garlic spread into the mix. These make for a great side dish to any meal. For those who are #lactosefree simply replace the cheese with lactose-free whole milk or a nut milk (like cashew). These will be a smashing hit at the dinner table. Enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 lbs small red potatoes, unpeeled, washed, halved
• ¼ cup cream cheese (optional: cashew milk)
• 4 Tbsp fresh chives, diced
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp cracked black pepper, crushed
• 1 tsp sea salt, crushed
• 3 Tbsp Joy’s Gourmet Garlic Spread, original flavor (I also like the Sun-dried Tomato and Green Olive garlic spreads)
DIRECTIONS:
Boil potatoes in water until tender, about 25 minutes until fork tender.
Drain and let drain, then set aside.
Slice potatoes into ½ inch pieces.
In a bowl mix cream cheese (or nut milk), garlic spread, melted butter, chives, pepper and salt.
Using a masher, mash the potatoes leaving them somewhat chunky style.
Mix in cream ingredients to potatoes.
Sprinkle a little more pepper and fresh chives. Serve.

THE ORIGINAL
This is a vegan spread, dip, marinade, cooking ingredient, topping, or sauté!
This spread is an amazing dip, an excellent replacement for mayonnaise and other condiments, a great flavor addition to many recipes, and we use it to flavor everything we eat.
Spread on sandwiches for an incredible taste. Use as a dip for vegetables, French fries, wings, and more. Top your fish and add a crust of chopped almonds or pistachios. Marinate your steaks and chicken prior to grilling, sautéing, or baking. Great with rotisserie chicken. Creates awesome grilled cheese sandwiches.
