We’ve received about 849 potatoes through our crop share this year, and I’m trying to find interesting ways to serve them. I love this recipe for grilled smashed potatoes, which despite a two-part cooking process, is relatively easy. Plus, smashing the cooked potatoes is quite satisfying…

If it ever cools off around here, we may get the third (last) row of potatoes dug. They are Yukon Golds — so it seems we are saving the best for last.
We have been doing a lot of cooking outside to avoid heating up the kitchen. We did baked potatoes on the grill with a meatloaf this past week — cut them in half lengthwise and placed them face-down on oiled foil.
BTW — smashing potatoes sounds very therapeutic! This recipe goes on the “must try” list.

Your Great Grampa Stolz always referred to mashed potatoes as “smashed potatoes.” Your post brought back some memories.
BTW–they look delicious–and what a good way to fix them–on the grill–don’t have to start the oven on these HOT days!

You could make vodka. That would involve smashing too.

And, how is it that you got 849 potatoes??? That is a righteous batch! The mother lode, in fact! I don’t know that we have ever harvested 849 potatoes! Wow!!!
