Ingredients

  • 24 Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes or Red Baby Potatoes
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • ½ Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • ½ Cup Bacon Crumbled
  • 2 Tablespoons Chives Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Ranch Dressing Homemade or Store Bought

Instructions

Boil the Potatoes

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender and easy for a fork to go through, about 15-20 minutes.

Smash the Potatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass or jar and gently smash each potato.

Season and Roast

  • Mix together the salt, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper; set aside
  • Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and garlic seasoning. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the smashed potatoes over mid way through baking. Bake until golden and crispy on the edges.
  • Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the shredded cheese over each smashed potato and return to the oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Add the Toppings

  • Place the crispy smashed potatoes on a serving platter, drizzle the ranch dressing over all the potatoes and sprinkle the crispy bacon and chopped chives covering the top. Serve and Enjoy!
