Holly and Natalie’s Crispy Smashed Potatoes
Cooking Tips:
1. If you liked baked potatoes as a kid, consider swapping in even more nutritious sweet potatoes.
2. The olive bar has to be the most underrated section of the grocery store. To make the most of that little treasure trove, we like to think of the stuff we find there not only as snacks, but also as hugely flavorful, time-saving ingredients.
3. Lentils are a perennial favorite in our kitchens, and for good reason: they’re inexpensive and filling, and they last forever in the pantry.
