Loaded Smashed Potatoes

If you’ve never made Loaded Smashed Potatoes, you’re missing out! They’re a side dish that your entire family will love!! Not 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.

They look delicious enough to eat with no toppings…………..but why would you want to do that?? When instead, you can have a little grated cheese to top yours. I bet the little ones would love these!Or how about with just a little salsa and sour cream? Or 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!
