Easy Side Dish: Apple Onion Smashed Potatoes

In an effort to blend in the "flavors of the season", I thought about the different flavor combinations that tend to work well together. We were having pork tenderloin and I remembered that as a child, we always had apple sauce with pork. Here is a new recipe that integrates a couple of flavors together that lead to a fantastic side dish.

6 Mini Red Potatoes
1-2 Apples, cored and diced
1 Sweet Yellow or White onion, diced
Olive Oil
Salt (Garlic or regular)
Pepper
Promise or Butter
Milk (splash)

Boil potatoes until soft (when you can easily stick a fork into potatoes, they are ready). While the potatoes are boiling, combine olive oil, apples and onion in a frying pan. Saute over high heat, adding salt and pepper for flavor to taste. Set aside until potatoes are finished.

Drain water from potatoes and smash potatoes using a masher. Add the Promise, a touch of milk, and the saute and mix together. Serve hot.

**One addition I thought might make for an excellent flavor combo would be the addition of turkey bacon or regular bacon with the onion and apple mixture. This would add some much needed salt to the dish.
