A delicious and flavorful recipe for cheesy smashed potatoes topped with sour cream, chives, and crispy bacon bits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs baby potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons fresh chopped chives
  • ¼ cup crispy turkey bacon bits
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Place the baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, until fork-tender. Drain well.
  3. Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet. Using the bottom of a glass or potato masher, gently flatten each potato without breaking it apart completely.
  4. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the potatoes, making sure to coat the edges.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  7. Remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the potatoes.
  8. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  9. In a small bowl, combine sour cream and milk until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spoon a little sour cream mixture over each cheesy potato. Sprinkle with fresh chives, crispy turkey bacon bits, and green onions.
  11. Serve immediately while hot, with crispy potato edges, gooey melted cheese, and a cool, creamy sour cream topping.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, omit the turkey bacon bits.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of cheese to your taste.
  • These potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven.
