Crispy Smashed Potatoes

I love crispy smashed potatoes! Forget two or three – I want at least four for myself. I usually enjoy potato wedges, roasted potatoes, and French fries, but these smashed potatoes are now my absolute favorite. They have a fantastic crispy outer layer, a creamy inside, and a delicious garlic-Parmesan flavor that I think everyone would love. What’s great is that you can enjoy them for various occasions.

Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

Appetizer

Buffalo cauliflower wings, a plant-based version of buffalo chicken wings, have become a game day staple in recent years.
