Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Favorite Birds theme and Smashed Red Mini Potatoes

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'Favorite Birds' theme. I did a Puffin in flight, an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").


 


 For the Dinner Date, I made these smashed red mini potatoes because I felt they could be chokers eaten whole.  

4 tbs unsalted butter

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp onion powder 

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tbs Italian seasoning

Mix all ingredients together and melt in a small saucepan.  Mix the sauce with the potatoes and bake 425F 25 minutes on a tray lined with parchment paper.  Smash the potatoes after they are cooked.
