If you were like me, you might be thinking, what the heck are “smashed potatoes?”

I mean, we all know mashed potatoes. They are a Thanksgiving staple. Really, the safe and reliable go-to side-dish for any meal.

I love potatoes and thought that I’ve had them in every way imaginable. However, I was wrong!

I came across the concept of smashed potatoes and was immediately intrigued. I genuinely had never heard of the dish prior to my research, so I decided to give them a shot.

Our Bourbon Barrel Malt Vinegar, aged in barrels from Iron Smoke Distillery, is a potato lovers dream come true.

I thought this would be another great way to showcase the malt vinegar and try something new at the same time.
