Perfect BBQ Ribs and Smashed Potatoes

In a large casserole pan put your ribs in and completely cover with water; add BBQ sauce, ketchup, and any other spices you like (I added cajun, black pepper, and seasoning salt). Put in the oven at 350F for 2hrs. They will cook slowly and remain juicy. When they are done, pour the water out and slather in your favorite BBQ sauce....now they are ready to be thrown on the grill to get crispy and that great smokey flavor!
Grill for about 5 min until they get those black grill marks and are crisp to your perfection! Thats it!
This is how it is done in most restaurants and your ribs stay moist, tender and have been BBQ-ed!

For the smashed potatoes: boil small red potatoes for about 18-20min until tender. Smash them with a masher lightly, add sour cream, and any cheese you like. I add asiago cheese, which gives it a lovely tangy taste. You can add garlic, dill or any other herbs you have on hand. Season with salt and pepper.
This is quickly becoming my favorite side dish!
