  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup crispy bacon bits (optional)

Instructions

  2. Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.

  5. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with shredded cheese, then return to the oven until the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences.
  • These potatoes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven.
  • For a healthier version, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
