Loaded Smashed Salt Potatoes Food

LOADED SMASHED SALT POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Cook Salt Potatoes following the directions on the bag. If you do not have pre-packaged salt potatoes, boil small potatoes in heavily salted water, the usual ratio is (1)one cup of salt to (6)six cups of water. Place potatoes in the pot and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but firm.
• 2. Using a potato masher flatten the cooked potatoes. Really there is not much else to say, no fancy foodie term. Just straight-forward potato flattening.
• 3. Arrange your now smashed potatoes in a oven safe baking dish, pack them in tightly so they completley cover the bottom of the pan, I also sprayed my pan with cooking spray, so the cheese would not stick. The size of the dish you use will depend on how many potatoes you have left over. I used two pie sized pans, so the kids could fix up their own potatoes and I would not have to hear, "I don't like all that junk".
• 4. Bake in a 450 degree pre-heated oven, until the potatoes are hot and the edges are golden and crispy. About 20 minutes, for the sized pans I used.
• 5. Once the potatoes are hot and crispy, sprinkle the potatoes with the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Put back into the oven until the cheese is melted, don't go anywhere it happens quick!
• 6. Once the cheese is melted, remove your potatoes from the oven, immediatly sprinkle all the yummy toppings on you would like. We used cherry tomatoes, diced sweet onion, pickled sliced jalapeno pepper, and sliced black olives. Serve hot with sour cream!

PERFECT SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

ROASTED, SMASHED AND LOADED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Adjust the oven racks to the top and bottom positions.
• Place the potatoes on a sheet pan, pour 3/4 cup water over the potatoes and cover tightly with foil. Bake on the bottom rack until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, drain any remaining water and let rest 8 minutes.
• Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over the potatoes, making sure they are evenly coasted. Space the potatoes evenly on the sheet pan and, using a potato masher, flatten the potatoes to about 1/2 inch thick (about 1/2 the length of your thumb to the first joint). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil over the potatoes and roast on the top rack for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the cheese. Roast on the bottom rack until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the sour cream and scallions. Serve immediately.
