How to Make Bacon And Cheddar Smashed Potatoes
- Wash and quarter 2 pounds of Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Place potato quarters in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/4 cup of water.
- Cover the bowl with microwave-safe plastic wrap, venting with a 1-inch slit in the center.
- Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 2 minutes.
- While potatoes cook, cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Crumble.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoons butter, and the crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently smash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Don't completely pulverize them; leave some texture.
- Add the cheese mixture to the potatoes and gently stir to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
