Smashed Potatoes recipe?

[Diz-Me]

Does anyone have the recipe for the smashed potatoes served at Disney World. I would love to make them for Christmas dinner. We really like smashed potatoes and I would love to avoid all the peeling!

Take 100 pounds of potatoes...

No, seriously, I'd love to see a scaled-down version of this recipe, too!

from which restaurant?

I have enjoyed smashed potatoes in several WDW restaurants as well as on the cruise ships. So a recipe from any of them would be appreciated.

Thanks sha_lyn. This seems like a nice basic recipe. I searched the web for 'smashed potatoes' and most are similar to the recipe you found but with the addition of sour cream, garlic, cream cheese, parmesan cheese etc. I was wondering if Disney has some secret ingrediant that makes their smashed potatoes so good!

They taste so good because you dont have to cook and you are on vacation !

I like the ones at AKL that have regular potatoes and yams....not sure what else is in them.

Just a side note. You mentioned you wanted to avoid all that peeling.

Wash the potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until done (tender). Use a ricer to mash. Place a whole, unpeeled, hot boiled potato in the ricer and simply press. The potato will be extruded and the peel will remain in the ricer. Add milk, butter, cheese, herbs, as you wish to the hot potatoes and stir lightly with a fork. No peeling!
