Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon bits (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
  4. On a baking sheet, place the potatoes and gently smash each one with a fork or potato masher.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and top with shredded cheddar cheese, returning to the oven until the cheese is melted.
  8. Serve topped with sour cream, green onions, and bacon bits if desired.

Notes

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