This video is a little bit different today. We are sharing some heartbreaking news that our absolute best kitchen helper ever, Miss Memphis, passed away on June 6th after a battle with liver cancer. We wanted to take a moment to honor her incredible spirit, look back at some of our favorite kitchen helper moments, and share how the pack is adjusting.

Even during tough times, we still have to eat, so Jamie and I are heading outside to fire up the Blackstone. I am showing you exactly how to make the ultimate, perfectly crispy smashed potatoes on the outdoor griddle. They are easy, require very little thought, and turn out incredibly delicious every single time. Thank you all so much for your love and support during this difficult time.

Ingredients
Little potatoes (any small variety works great)
Water (for boiling)
Salt
Butter
Oil
Pepper
Garlic salt

Tips and Tricks
☀️ Small potatoes like baby reds or fingerlings work best because they are easy to smash and get perfectly bite-sized.
☀️ If you only have large baking potatoes like Russets, just chop them down into small, uniform chunks before boiling.
☀️ Make sure to boil the potatoes until you can easily slide a fork through them, which takes about 7 minutes.
☀️ After draining the potatoes, dry them thoroughly with a paper towel so they crisp up perfectly on the griddle instead of steaming.
☀️ Don't touch the potatoes for a full 10 minutes after smashing them on the Blackstone to ensure that beautiful, golden crust forms.
☀️ You can easily customize these by tossing on some shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, or a dollop of sour cream at the very end.
