Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!
