Smashed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Chives

by Pam on October 10, 2012

My kids are big fans of mashed potatoes and they are always very happy when I serve them with dinner. I decided to change it up and bit and make smashed potatoes with butter, sour cream, and chives. I used Yukon gold potatoes because they are rich, creamy, and so delicious. I served this side dish with the Italian Meatloaf^[1] and the Sautéed Kale, Grape Tomatoes, Garlic, and Parmesan^[2] for a delicious and comforting meal. We all LOVED these potatoes and they tasted great (with the leftover meatloaf) the next day too.

Heat a large pot of salted water until boiling. Add the potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender and cooked through. Drain the potatoes; add the sour cream, butter, chives, sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Mash by hand with a potato masher until creamy. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Sautéed Kale with Grape Tomatoes, Garlic, and Parmesan

by Pam on October 9, 2012

I served this side dish with the Italian Meatloaf^[1] and they paired nicely together. I have only used kale in soups so I was excited to give it a try as a main vegetable for our meal. I loved the garlicky flavor of the wilted kale with the sweetened grape tomatoes. It was light, healthy, and very delicious – even my kids ate it!

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed red pepper, kale, and grape tomatoes then cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of water to the skillet then cover with a lid; steam for 1-2 minutes. Remove the lid and taste; re-season if needed. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
