Whether it's for a holiday celebration or as just a fancy snack to help relax during the coldest months, Winter Potatoes are just the tops! Crispy, fluffy on the inside smashed potatoes drizzled with herb butter is already a marvelous idea. But then, Winter Potatoes add their own snowfall by melting a wedge of brie on each potato and drizzling them with the distinct umami flavor of white truffle oil. Mmm, it's a delightful holiday for the taste buds!
