Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds yellow baby potatoes washed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 ½ tablespoons butter melted
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 strips bacon cooked until crisp then crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the whole baby potatoes and boil until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes; drain well and dry the outside of the potatoes.
- Brush a sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then place the cooked baby potatoes on the oiled pan. Smash the potatoes down with a fork, being careful to keep them in one piece (don’t over-smash).
- Brush the top of the smashed potatoes with the remaining tablespoon olive oil.
- Bake the potatoes at 450F for 15 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush them with melted butter. Top each potato with salt and pepper to taste, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon.
- Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Sprinkle fresh chopped chives over the potatoes and serve hot.
