Artichoke Smashed Potatoes

I came across this recipe a few years ago in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette in an article about the Sewickley Cafe (one of my favorite restaurants in my hometown). I'm glad I printed it then since I can't seem to find the article now. These potatoes are quick and easy and they go great with a grilled steak (chicken for me) and green beans.
