Loaded Smashed Potatoes – Damn Delicious (Page 1 ) | March 15, 2024

SUPER CRISPY smashed potatoes topped with sour cream, bacon + chives. The easiest most perfect bite-sized appetizer.

A loaded baked potato in crispy bite-size form for game day? Yes, yes, yes.

No, but really, game day or not, this appetizer is an absolute must for any get-together, potluck, picnic – you name it.

With a quick parboil of the potatoes, you can smash these guys, bake them to crisp perfection and top with a dollop of sour cream, crispy bacon bits, and chives.

They will disappear instantly from the crowd so be sure to get your fix in.

Ingridients:

• 2 pounds baby yellow potatoes
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 slices bacon, diced
• ⅓ cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
• Place potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover with cold salted water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes; drain well and let cool slightly.
• Place potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a flat dry measuring cup or glass, carefully smash the potatoes until flattened but still in one piece. Brush with olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Sprinkle the tops of each potato with cheese; place into oven and bake until cheese has melted, an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat; transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Top each potato with sour cream, bacon and chives.
• Serve immediately.
