How to Make Blt Smashed Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Boil potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- While potatoes are boiling, sauté leeks in olive oil over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently smash each potato with a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture.
- Toss the smashed potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and top with cooked bacon, sautéed leeks, halved tomatoes, and fresh chives.
- Drizzle with mayonnaise or Greek yogurt before serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
