    Bite Sized Smashed Potatoes are an easy side dish. Baby potatoes baked with fresh thyme, garlic, and olive oil are crispy on the outside and soft inside.

    Bite Sized Smashed Potatoes are best when made with mini Yukon gold potatoes, in my opinion.

    A lot of people might want to make these with baby red potatoes, and those would work perfectly fine and taste great, but there is just a creamy buttery goodness with the golden Yukons.

    I'm always on the hunt for a quick and easy side dish to serve with dinner. The typical dinner in our house almost always consists of a protein, a starch, and a veggie.

    For example, in my mind the perfect dinner is something like a pork tenderloin, some kind of side dish, and a fresh green salad. Boom! That satisfies my meal OCD. I mean my meal checklist.

    Turns out I had this little bag of potatoes sitting in my refrigerator for quite some time and I didn't really have a plan to do anything with them.

    I knew the skins were super tender on this variety and peeling those little things wasn't an option. I also knew that if I boiled them whole, they would be wonderfully soft and tender on the outside.

    But how to serve? I figured a nice smash and a light toss in my favorite olive oil along with some fresh herbs and garlic would finish them off nicely. Turns out I was right! These Bite Sized Smashed Potatoes turned out perfectly.
