Ingredients
Smashed Potatoes:
- 2 pounds potatoes Yukon Gold or Carisma
- 1 pray olive oil
- 1 pinch kosher salt to taste
- 1 pinch cracked pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons garlic or onion powder
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Bacon diced
- 1 tablespoon chives finely chopped
Avocado Crema:
- 1 avocado ripe, pitted and mashed
- ½ cup sour cream or plain, greek yoghurt
- 1 teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 pinch salt to season
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to broil (or grill) settings to high heat.
- Place potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to the boil; cook, covered for 30-35 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain well.
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet or tray with cooking oil spray. Arrange potatoes onto the sheet and use a potato masher to LIGHTLY flatten the potatoes in one piece (not too hard or they will end up mashed).
- Spray potatoes lightly with olive oil spray; season with salt, pepper and garlic or onion powder (about ¼ teaspoon each per potato).
- Broil (or grill) until they are golden and crispy (about 15 minutes).
- While potatoes are broiling, fry the diced bacon until just beginning to crisp; drain fat on a sheet of paper towel; set aside.
- Remove potatoes from the oven; top with the mozzarella cheese and bacon; return to the oven until the cheese has melted.
- Season with a little extra salt and top with chives. Serve immediately wight he Avocado Crema.
Avocado Crema:
- Combine all crema ingredients in a bowl, mix well to combine.
Notes
- Don't press down on your potatoes too hard with your masher or they may fall apart.
