Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then carefully add in 1 bag of washed petite potatoes. Boil the potatoes for 10-12 minutes, until they can be easily poked with a fork.
- Shred the cheese while waiting for the potatoes to cook.
- Drain the water from the potatoes and then place them on a greased baking sheet. Ensure no extra water is on the baking sheet. Using a knife, make an ‘X’ on every potato, scoring it slightly. This helps create the perfect smashed potato.
- Then, using the bottom of a mason jar, press firmly on the potatoes to "smash" them flat. You do, however, want each potato to stay in one piece.
- Use a silicon brush to generously coat all of the smashed potatoes with olive oil. Sprinkle the seasonings evenly on each potato. Then, top each potato with the cheese. Attempt to sprinkle only on the potatoes and not let too much fall onto the baking pan.
- Bake potatoes for 15-18 minutes or until cheese is melted and potatoes are crispy. Broil for 2-3 minutes at 500°F for some extra bubbly cheese.
- Garnish the Smashed Baked Potatoes with sliced green onion and serve with sauce of choice as an appetizer or tasty side dish. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store these Smashed Baked Potatoes in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, put them in the microwave for ~60 second and add more cheese if desired. Do note, however, they'll lose some of their crispiness as compared to enjoying right out of the oven.
- If you don't have Green Goddess Seasoning, use any combination of garlic, onion, salt, pepper, chives, green onion, spinach powder, and parsley.
- These would be a lovely side dish to any protein, or even as a starter to share if you pop some toothpicks in the potatoes. If you’re feeling really dangerous, make my Whipped Feta Dip to dip the crispy potatoes in for a more gourmet appetizer.
