A wholesome meal is a balanced meal comprising carbohydrate, protein and vitamins. This special dish I’d like to introduce involves potatoes done in quite an interesting way. Heard of smashed potatoes? The name itself does not sound appetizing. The irony is that smashed potatoes, despite their name, are deliciously divine. Baked with the skin intact, the potatoes give off a kind of tasty crispness that makes you reach out for more.
