Loaded Smashed Potatoes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes (about 1-1 1/2 inches across), washed
- 2 tablespoons oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 strips bacon (optional)
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Bring the potatoes and enough water to cover them by an inch to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until a fork can easily be pushed into them, about 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes, before draining them.
- Place the potatoes on a greased baking sheet and 'smash' them by pressing down on them with something like a potato masher, the bottom of a gloss or bowl, etc.
- Brush the potatoes with oil, season with salt and pepper and bake them on the top shelf of a preheated 450F oven until golden brown and crispy on top, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile cook and crumble the bacon.
- Sprinkle the cheddar onto the potatoes and optionally broil for a minute to melt the cheese.
- Top with the sour cream, bacon and green onions and enjoy as a side or as an appetizer!
