Loaded Smashed Potato Bites
Loaded Smashed Potato Bites are roasted until the edges turn crispy and golden. Then they’re topped with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh chives for a bite-sized version of loaded potatoes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- cooking oil
- salt and black pepper to season
- 2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- fresh chives chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the potatoes. Boil until tender, about 12-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and let them sit in the colander for 10 minutes.
- Place them on the baking sheet and use a potato masher or bowl to smash each potato.
- Drizzle well with cooking oil and salt and black pepper.
- Roast in the oven until the potatoes are crispy and golden around the edges, about 25 minutes. Flip halfway so they cook evenly.
- Remove from oven. Season with salt. Top with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. Put them back in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh chives.
Notes
- Cooking time will depend on how big the potatoes are. Cook until crispy.
