Crispy Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

  4.0 – 1 reviews  • Roasted Potato Recipes

This quick, simple, and flavorful punch is made by combining orange juice, bourbon, and lemon-lime soda. This one has never been a source of complaint for me.

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds baby red potatoes
  2. salt to taste
  3. 10 slices bacon
  4. ¾ cup crumbled blue cheese
  5. 1 bunch green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  2. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  3. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle. Reserve bacon grease.
  4. Grease a baking sheet with a small amount of the bacon grease and place potatoes on the sheet. Smash potatoes with the bottom of a glass, then brush with more bacon grease. Repeat once more (smashing/brushing). Lightly salt potatoes.
  5. Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until crispy, about 15 minutes. Top with blue cheese and crumbled bacon. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 more minutes.
  6. Top with green onions and serve.
  7. You can use any cheese you like instead of blue cheese.

I love all of the ingredients but I prefer my potatoes with cheddar cheese rather than blue cheese. Just a personal preference. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
