Ingredients

  • 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill it with cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Simmer the potatoes until they are just barely fork tender. Strain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  3. Brush a baking sheet with 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil. Place the potatoes on the sheet. Use your hand or the bottom of a glass to smash them once, trying to keep them in one piece.
  4. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  5. Place the sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove the pan and top each potato with some of the blue cheese. Return the pan to the oven for 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove the pan and drizzle with the buffalo wing sauce, top with the green onions and fresh cilantro. You can add more crumbled blue cheese if you’d like! Serve immediately!
