[SilentSeeker]

Hey everyone! If you love comfort food, you're going to adore these loaded smashed potatoes. They're crispy, cheesy, and topped with all your favorite fixings! Perfect for any occasion!

NGREDIENTS

• 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

INSTRUCTIONS​

• 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.
