Loaded Smashed Potatoes
Side dishes are usually a 2nd thought for me. Once I finish up our main dish I’m totally guilty of tossing a bag of steam-able broccoli in the microwave as our side dish! Anyone else do that?! I know I’m not the only one. Some days I get a little fancy and make something like these Loaded Smashed Potatoes. Wanna know the best part? They aren’t really fancy at all and so simple to make!
How to make Loaded Smashed Potatoes:
Start by preheating your oven to 450. Prepare a baking sheet with non stick cooking spray and set aside. Add potatoes to a large pot and cover with water then cover and boil for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender. Once potatoes are tender drain water and place on your prepared baking sheet. Use a potato smasher to smash down potatoes. Slice butter into small pieces and place a small piece of butter onto each potato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and top with cheese. Place back into the oven on low broil for 30-40 seconds until cheese is melted. Top each potato with a spoon full of sour cream and green onion.
