Ingredients
- 4 medium Idaho potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup grated cheddar or marbled cheese
- 1/2 cup Bacon cooked and crumbled
- optional: green onions & sour cream totally necessary in my opinion
Instructions
- Half potatoes and boil in large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drizzle half of the olive oil onto a baking sheet. Drain potatoes and place onto baking sheet. Using a potato masher, flatten potatoes to about 1/2-3/4 inch thick. Brush tops with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with cheese and bacon and return to oven for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Top with sour cream and green onions and serve.
