    I am a sucker for incredibly easy side dishes and this one definitely fits the description. Not only are these smashed herb lemon baked potatoes easy, but they are are so flavorful. I love how they pair with just about any main dish: beef, seafood, chicken - you name it.

    There are two parts to making these and let's start with the boiling them until they are tender. For the boiling water, you will want to make sure it is salted, which increases the flavor inside the potatoes.

    Once tender, you will want to lay them on a baking sheet and start the smashing process. You can use a potato smasher. If you do not have a potato smasher on hand, you can use the bottom of a glass. You will want to make sure you press firmly on the potatoes to smash them evenly.

    Once they are perfectly smashed, you can whisk together your star-winning ingredients: butter and spices. I used dried herbs, if you can get your hands onto fresh herbs, feel free to use those instead. Fresh is always best.

    After you have your spices mixed together and your butter melted, glaze the smashed potatoes and top with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
