Perfect Presentation Platters

Checkered Serving Boards: I used this checkered chopping board, which I use for prep, serving, and decor! For a more affordable version, Temu also has this Checkered Chopping Board that comes in various sizes and is so handy for prep, serving, and decor! I use mine all the time!

White Serving Platters: I love this large white porcelain platter from Walmart that I use all the time, as well as this marble tray for an amazing price!! For another all-white option, this white marble pastry board from World Market is my favorite!

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep These Smashed Potatoes in Advance?

Yes! You can boil and smash the potatoes in advance and keep refrigerated, where they should stay fresh for 1-2 days. We recommend waiting until baking them until you’re ready to serve, so they’re warm and crispy.

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftovers in a Ziploc Bag or Tupperware container and refrigerate, where they should stay fresh for several days. To reheat, microwave for 30-second intervals until preferred heat is reached.
