What it is
This is a convenient, pre-made side dish featuring tender potatoes that have been smashed and seasoned with sour cream and chives.

How people cook with it

To prepare, simply transfer the smashed potatoes to an oven-safe dish or a microwave-safe container. If using an oven, bake according to package directions until heated through and slightly golden. For microwave preparation, heat on high power for a few minutes, stirring halfway through, until fully warmed. You can also add a touch of extra butter or a sprinkle of fresh chives before serving for an enhanced presentation and flavor.

The sour cream and chive seasoning is already incorporated, providing a distinct flavor that differs from plain potatoes or those seasoned with just butter and salt.
