Servings: 4
- 1 1/2 lbs. Yukon gold potatoes about 6-8 potatoes**
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- fresh parsley for serving
For the garlic cheddar sour cream dip:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup cheddar cheese grated
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt or more to taste
- black pepper to taste
Bring a large pot of water to boil and add the potatoes. Cook until fork tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain potatoes and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly grease a baking sheet. Add the potatoes onto the baking sheet and, using the back of a glass, smash the potatoes down until they’re about ¼” thick. Brush the potatoes with the olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes, until they’re crispy and golden.
While the potatoes are baking in the oven, add all of the dip ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk together.
To serve, add a dollop of the dip overtop each smashed potato and top with fresh parsley or additional chopped chives. Enjoy!
