Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 6 red potatoes par-boiled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • Butter to taste
  • Sharp cheddar shredded
  • Sour cream to taste
  • 1 slice of bacon cooked & crumbled
  • 1 green onion sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Boil the potatoes in water for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  • Place potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Using a towel, gently press down with your hand to smash them. You can also use a potato masher, but I find that my hand does a better job.
  • Place the smashed potatoes on the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes.
  • Flip them over and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and place a bit of butter on each smashed potato.
  • Add some shredded sharp cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, some bacon bits, and green onions.
  • Serve immediately. Enjoy.
