Karzy Kitchen Mom Tips

  • Use small potatoes.
  • Don’t over boil the potatoes, they should be soft enough to smash but not soft like mashed potatoes.
  • Use a large cookie sheet so that there is plenty of room to smash each potato.
  • Don’t have a potato masher? No problem! Use the bottom of a small glass or mason jar.
