The ingredients for Smashed loaded potatoes are:

2lbs yukon gold potatoes
2 slices center cut bacon
1 tbsp olive oil
1 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cloves of garlic
1 tsp dried rosemary
salt and pepper

Here is how you make Smashed loaded potatoes:

Place potatoes in a pot and fill with enough water to cover. Add 1 tsp salt, and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. While potatoes are boiling, cook bacon in a large skillet. Remove from pan but leave oil in. Add the olive oil and bring up to medium heat. Add the potatoes to skillet, and smash just enough to break the skin and flatten the potatoes a little bit. The best way is with a coffee cup or a glass so you don't burn your hand. Add the garlic and the rosemary when you put in the potatoes. Cook in a single layer until browned and crispy on the bottom and then flip and do the same to the other side, around 7-10 minutes. Add the cheese right at the end so it can melt, and salt and pepper the potatoes. Crumb the bacon over the potatoes and serve.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SWEETIE_8405.
