Has an evening meal, including potatoes, and crashes (5-3)

I believe the answer is:

smash-ups

'crashes' is the definition.
(smash-up can mean a crash or collision)

'has an evening meal including potatoes' is the wordplay.
'has an evening meal' becomes 'sups' (has supper).
'including' is an insertion indicator.
'potatoes' becomes 'mash' (mashed potato).
'sups' going around 'mash' is 'SMASH-UPS'.

'and' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
