Vegetable Stand Pot Roast With Smashed Garlic and Onion Potatoes

Submitted by yooper

"This one's not for the crockpot! It roasts inside of your oven in one of those oven cooking bags. Smashed potatoes are unpeeled-if you don't like the peel then remove it and you will have regular mashed potatoes. There was no amount given for the milk or butter for the potatoes, just add until you get your desired consistency."

This roast turned out tender, moist and extremely flavorful. I loved the idea of the onions in the potatoes - I can't beleive I never thought of it before! I'm thrilled that there is enough leftover for a couple lunches this week. Thanks for a great recipe.
