If you’ve never made Loaded Smashed Potatoes, you’re missing out! They’re a side dish that your entire family will love!! Loaded Smashed PotatoesNot only are these simple to make, but the addition of cheese, bacon, salsa, and sour cream make these Smashed Potatoes the best Loaded Smashed Potatoes!! I made them for just the two of us (and had the leftovers with a soft fried egg the following day), but easy enough to make for a crowd! And the best part, is that everyone can top theirs exactly how they want it!!!

Start by boiling some small yukon potatoes until tender. Let them cool just slightly and place on a parchment lined baking sheet and gently smash the potato until flat (I used the base of a drinking glass). Brush with some melted butter, add some parmesan, and a little pepper, and bake until golden and the edges are crispy.Loaded Smashed Potatoes

Loaded Smashed Potatoes

They look delicious enough to eat with no toppings…………..but why would you want to do that?? Loaded Smashed PotatoesWhen instead, you can have a little grated cheese to top yours. I bet the little ones would love these!Loaded Smashed PotatoesOr how about with just a little salsa and sour cream? Loaded Smashed PotatoesOr if you’re anything like us, you’ll want to pile on the toppings! The works! Give us all the cheese and salsa, and bacon, and a few extra onions, and of course some sour cream! Now this is a Loaded Smashed Potato!Loaded Smashed Potatoes

Loaded Smashed Potatoes

Author Joy in Every Season

Ingredients

  • 1 bag 28 oz small Yukon potatoes
  • 2 TBSP real butter melted
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh cracked pepper
  • Optional toppings:
  • 1/2 # bacon fried crispy and crumbled
  • pico de gallo or your favorite salsa
  • green onions chopped
  • grated cheese I used colby jack
  • sour cream

Instructions

  • Boil potatoes until fork tender. Drain.
  • Let cool slightly and place potatoes onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Smash potato flat (I used the bottom of a drinking glass) and brush with melted butter.
  • Top with parmesan cheese and a little pepper.
  • Bake at 425* until potatoes are hot, the cheese has melted, and the edges are beginning to crisp. For a crispier potato, you can always put the under the broiler for a few minutes, watching them closely so they don't burn.
  • Prep toppings while potatoes are cooking.
  • Plate potatoes and set out toppings!
  • Enjoy!

Pretty in pink! As soon as I unpacked my Valentine’s box, I knew I wanted to set a table using the small heart plates. I’ve had them for a year or two, and used them for appetizers and dessert, but never set them as a small salad plate. I searched through all my “pink” tableware and quickly realized that all pinks are not the same. I had variations of “pink” pink, “blush” pink, and “lavender” pink. It wasn’t working until I pulled it all together with the flowers. Your tip for the day is to mix and match, use what you have, and if it doesn’t work, go buy yourself some fresh flowers. #dishhoarderproblems

This White Chocolate Mocha was delicious! In fact, it was as good or better than I could have gotten at a coffee shop (and I didn’t have to leave the house). What’s your favorite coffee shop drink?

White Chocolate Sauce
•3-4 TBSP white chocolate chips
•1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
•½ cup low-fat (2%)milk
. . . . . . .
•Using a milk frother, add low-fat milk and condensed milk. Heat until hot and frothy.
•If you don’t have a frother, combine milk and condensed milk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until hot, but not boiling. Stir regularly to prevent scorching.
•Add chocolate chips to hot milk, stir until melted and well combined.

White Chocolate Mocha
•Into a favorite mug, pour in a shot of espresso. Add a second shot if you prefer it stronger.
•Add (hot) White Chocolate Sauce to fill cup.
•Top with whipped cream (and sprinkles).

Sometimes a simple charcuterie board and a glass of bubbly (sparkly cider or champagne) is the perfect dinner! Fill your charcuterie board with your favorite meats, cheeses, veggies, nuts, breads or crackers, and few sweets and enjoy a quiet Valentines at home with those you love!

We are experiencing some crazy storms lately! Our poor town has been battered with wind, rain, and flooding! It’s days like this when I’m thankful for family, a warm house, and a stocked pantry! If you’re looking for an easy and delicious soup, try my go-to Tortilla Soup! You can make it stovetop or in a slow cooker (like I did today). Click the link in my profile to get to the recipe.

Enjoy and stay safe my friends!
